Germany To Begin Renewable Power-To-Gas Research Project
Soon Germany will be conducting another phase of its Energiewende (aka “energy transition” or “energy revolution”) with a power-to-gas research project. The large collaboration will consist of various institutes and companies. The goal of the project is to achieve a long-term energy storage system based upon a 100% renewable energy electricity scenario.
The power-togas (P2G) technology converts electrical power to fuel. It takes the excess power generated by wind generators, solar arrays, or biomass power plants and converts carbon dioxide and water into methane using electrolysis, thus enabling it to be stored.
The project is set to start in January 2014 and is expected to last two years. Some of the key players in this power-to-gas project include: “Etogas, juwi technologies, the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research or ZSW, the Reiner Lemoine Institute, and RWE Germany.”
