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).''
