Introduction: Describe the purpose and focus of the paper.''1 Introduction On a global scale, the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in electricity production is small but growing continuously. To prevent economic losses and idle green resources caused by energy curtailments, corrective actions need to be taken. Moreover, RES must become accessible for sectors that still heavily rely on fossil resources, i.e., chemical industry, heating, and transportation [1], if global climate targets are to be met. In this context, technologies termed Power-to-[K], such as Power-to-gas, Power-to-chemicals, or Power-to-fuels, have attracted increasing interest in recent years (cf. Sect. 2). The terminology has been used for an ever-increasing number of applications, and the large diversity of applications associated with this terminology has resulted in the term Power-to-X. However, we are not aware of an established definition about what the X may or may not include. Looking at most instances of Power-to-X concepts, these aim at converting electricity into gases, liquids, heat, fuels, or even back from those into electricity [2–7]. We believe that in addition to the new aspect of bringing renewable electricity into production processes to replace fossil-based products, many recently proposed technologies under the term Power-to-X are closely related to the much older concepts of electricity storage and demand side management (DSM). Therefore, a broad definition of Power-to-X as processes with the goal to exploit the environmental and economic potential of renewable electricity is proposed. This explicitly encompasses electricity storage and DSM as well as the newer aspect that we call e-Production. In the following, first, a brief overview of the literature is given (Sect. 2). Then, details on the definition and classification of Powerto-X are provided, before key challenges and benefits for given external conditions are discussed (Sect. 3). Illustrative examples that demonstrate how process systems engineering (PSE) methods support overcoming these challenges are also given (Sect. 4). Finally, the most important findings and still open questions are summarized (Sect. 5).''

Renewable energy forms an important tool in the reduction of emissions in the energy sector. Therefore, the new EU strategy on energy system integration that was released on the 8th of July 2020 set the stage for adequate rules to ensure market access for renewable energy supply, to enable and create multiple flexible decarbonization solutions for the energy sector. In May 2021, it was recognized that if nuclear energy from "more productive" plants could make "significant contributions to our ability to stretch our decarbonization reach and target the most carbon-intensive methods [of electricity] production." Both nuclear and wind power, as installed in the USA since 1980 and 2000 respectively, the European Union brought the LCOE (including waste disposal and ornament isolated storage, OIS, of capital costs) of nuclear energy to 70 $/MWh, to wind and PV of about 30-40 €/MWh, with a similar production as by "steady learning" and a total investment, CAPEX, needed of 4,600 B€. Finally, 82 ExJ of electrical energy can be theoretically produced by 2050, according to the WEO 1915 scenario, with a growth rate of 3.3%.
