Oil and gas still make a critical contribution to the generation of energy, however other technologies have entered the public and political consciousness. For example Power-to-X technologies, whereby synthetic gases or fuels can be produced from renewable energy using electrolysis of hydrogen and downstream process steps (methanation). These fuels can be used where high energy density is required but proven components from plant construction (e.g. valves and compressors) are needed.
