Topsoe and Maersk Training to set new safety standards for the Power-to-X industry

• With a new partnership, Topsoe and Maersk Training aim to establish safety standards that support the emerging Power-to-X industry.
• Power-to-X and the production of e-fuels are critical enablers of the transition to low-emission fuels. However, no comprehensive safety standards currently exist that address the full range of risks at these sites.
• Together, the two companies will develop realistic simulations, competency-based training and a strong operational culture designed to strengthen safety practices across the entire Power-to-X value chain.

Topsoe, a leading global provider of advanced technology and solutions for the energy transition, and Maersk Training, a global training and consulting organization, have joined forces to establish industry-leading safety standards that will help safeguard operations across the Power-to-X sector.

As Power-to-X technologies scale to meet global climate ambitions, both companies emphasize the need for robust, realistic and forward-looking training frameworks. The collaboration builds on Maersk Training’s nearly 50 years of experience in high-risk environments.

Sundus Cordelia Ramli, Chief Commercial Officer Power-to-X at Topsoe, said:
“The Power-to-X industry is scaling faster than regulation can keep up, and that makes proactive safety leadership critical. By combining Topsoe’s deep technological expertise with Maersk Training’s proven track record in realistic, competency-based training, we aim to ensure that this nascent industry is built on a foundation of competence, preparedness and care.”

Per Larsen, Head of Innovation and Product Management at Maersk Training, said:
“We bring nearly 50 years of experience in training. But we also recognize the value of strong partnerships – where additional expertise makes us stronger. 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.”

By developing realistic simulations, competency-focused learning and a strong safety culture, Topsoe and Maersk Training aim to help the industry avoid the pitfalls that have historically emerged when new technologies outpaced safety preparation. The risk and role-based training framework ensures hazards are addressed, and competencies developed proactively and efficiently - avoiding unnecessary overlap that can arise when multiple hazards, regulatory regimes, or legacy training approaches converge.
