5 Key Takeaways:

1. Power-to-X is complex—but essential.

Scaling hydrogen requires integrating diverse sectors like oil & gas, petrochemicals, aviation, and shipping, and aligning electrons with molecules in a deeply interconnected energy system.

​

2. Topsoe remains committed—despite market hesitation.

Even in a conservative and price-sensitive market, Topsoe continues to invest in SOEC technology, guided by its founding principles: science-based solutions that benefit society.

​

3. First movers will lead the learning curve.

Early adopters in aviation and maritime will gain competitive advantages and help shape best practices for the wider hydrogen economy.

​

4. Cost reduction starts with technology providers.

Topsoe sees it as their responsibility to cut the “green premium” by expanding supply chains and advancing electrolyzer technology.

​

5. Carbon pricing is a key accelerator.

A strong carbon tax would drive better decisions across the value chain and provide long-term certainty to unlock investments in Power-to-X.
