POWER TO GAS

Power to gas

Power-to-Gas is an instrument allowing for optimisation of the overall energy system since it deals with excess of renewable electricity (compared to the demand) which is difficult to store in large quantities for a long time.

Power-to-Gas means a conversion of electrical power into a gaseous energy carrier. In a first step, electricity from renewable energy sources is used in an electrolyser to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This process is called Electrolysis. An additional Methanation step, can be used to synthesise the hydrogen with carbon dioxide into methane.

For more information, take a look on ENTSO’s common position paper on Power-to-Gas from a sector coupling perspective, here.

SGI

Pegasus

Pegasus Project aims to produce 100% renewable methane on an industrial scale through an integrated system of conversion of water to hydrogen through RES powered electrolysis and CO₂ supply from biomethane upgrading processes with subsequent methanation and feeding into SGI transport network with access to all services of the gas system.
