Power-to-X Safety Training
Structured safety training for PtX operations built on decades of experience in high-risk industries.
Why training is critical for a growing industry
Power-to-X is transforming renewable electricity into fuels like hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol - key technologies for the green transition. But as projects scale, safety frameworks have not kept pace.
Without structured training, companies risk fragmented practices, higher operational hazards, and slower approvals.
Why this matters:
-
Industry growth is outpacing regulation
-
No unified safety framework exists today
-
Inconsistent practices increase risk and cost
Early investment in safety training helps prevent incidents, builds workforce competence, and supports faster project delivery.
How Maersk Training prepares your PtX workforce
We combine decades of process safety expertise with modern learning methods to prepare your workforce for real-world conditions.
Our focus areas:
-
Process safety expertise: 45+ years in high-risk industries like oil & gas, maritime and offshore wind.
-
Competence-based training: Skills matched to actual PtX tasks and hazards.
-
Flexible delivery: E-learning for theory, and instructor-led sessions for hands-on practice.
-
Integration with operations: Training embedded in plant design and standard operating procedures.
Our Training Process
We follow a structured approach to embed safety into PtX operations from day one:
Assess risks and roles:
Identify critical tasks and map competencies needed for safe PtX operations.
Design training pathways:
Create learning programmes tailored to your plant and workforce.
Validate competence:
Use realistic simulations and assessments to confirm readiness before operations begin.

Partnership Spotlight: Topsoe × Maersk Training
We are working with Topsoe, a global leader in PtX technology, to develop realistic simulations, competency-focused learning, and a shared safety culture for the full PtX value chain.
Topsoe: “The Power-to-X industry is scaling faster than regulation can keep up, and that makes proactive safety leadership critical.” - Sundus Cordelia Ramli, Chief Commercial Officer Power-to-X, Topsoe
Maersk Training: “This is not just about ticking boxes; it’s about making sure the people on the front line are equipped with the right skills and mindset.” - Per Larsen, Head of Innovation & Product Management, Maersk Training
What is Power-to-X and How Does It Work?
Power-to-X (PtX) refers to technologies that convert renewable electricity into other forms of energy or products.
How it works:
-
Renewable electricity powers an electrolyser that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen.
-
Hydrogen can be used directly or combined with nitrogen to produce ammonia, or with carbon to create e-fuels like methanol.
-
These fuels enable decarbonisation in sectors that are hard to electrify, such as shipping, aviation, and heavy industry.
Why safety matters: PtX involves high-pressure systems, chemical reactions, and new plant designs. Without structured safety training, these processes pose significant risks to workers and operations.
