The collaboration will fast-track early-stage Power-to-X design by enabling agile analysis of multiple technology and process plant configuration scenarios.
2nd July 2025, London, UK | Copenhagen, Denmark.
PEAK Wind, a renewable energy advisor with strong Power-to-X process engineering expertise, and leading offshore wind engineering consultancy Wood Thilsted have signed an MoU to combine their expertise to accelerate Power-to-X engineering delivery.
The collaboration aims to disrupt the current approach to process plant engineering design by combining PEAK Wind’s proven process engineering capabilities through their Power-to-X advisory business PEAX Energy with Wood Thilsted’s world-leading design approach and software developed through the last decades of a fast-moving, highly competitive renewable energy sector.
“The nascent Power-to-X industry differs significantly from the established chemical and fossil fuel sectors. Project developers need to assess new technologies and suppliers simultaneously with finding commercially attractive solutions, upstream green power producers and downstream green fuel offtakers. This complexity requires rapid evaluation of various technologies, sizing envelopes and commercial models that existing design approaches do not meet – they are simply too slow and rigid compared to what is required” says Leif Winther from PEAK Wind.
Utilising PEAK Wind and Wood Thilsted’s combined capabilities, the collaboration provides a solution to evaluate technologies, process flows and scenarios with a short turnaround time – without compromising on the proven and strong process plant engineering disciplines.
This will enable the project developers to evaluate multiple design configurations and scenarios within days rather than months – while receiving detailed inputs to valuation models and permit envelope together with full standard Design Basis/pre-FEED packages (including e.g. process design basis, flow diagrams, heat and material balances, etc.).
“The ability to comprehensively explore a broad range of design parameters has been instrumental in enhancing the speed and efficiency of offshore wind foundation design over the past decade. Applying this approach to Power-to-X enables agile analysis of multiple technology and process plant configuration scenarios, accelerating early-stage Power-to-X engineering delivery and supporting the identification and calibration of the optimal design strategy for each project” concludes Alastair Muir Wood, CEO and Co-Founder at Wood Thilsted.

What is Power-to-X
Power-to-X refers to a set of technologies that convert electrical energy – usually from renewable sources like wind or solar – into other forms of energy carriers, products or storage, such as hydrogen, and other liquid fuels, chemicals and heat. Power-to-X technologies are a vector to unlock the potential of renewable energy, decarbonise hard to abate sectors, and build a flexible, resilient energy system.
