Power to Gas Energy Storage. Power to Gas is a innovative energy conversion and storage solution using electrolysis. It integrates renewable sources of generation, converts surplus electricity to produce hydrogen or renewable gas, and leverages the attributes of the existing natural gas infrastructure. Power to Gas is the process of converting surplus renewable energy into hydrogen gas by rapid response electrolysis and its subsequent injection into the gas distribution network.
Power to Gas allows for the storage of significant amounts of energy and the provision of CO2 neutral fuels in the form of the resulting renewable energy gas mix of hydrogen and methane. Power to Gas is a highly effective way of integrating renewables. It can provide a rapid, dynamic response to the Independent Grid Operator’s signal to adjust to the variations in renewable generation output. The siting of a Power-to-Gas facility is not restricted to any geologic formation as it can be deployed wherever the power and gas grids intersect. It is a scalable technology.
Power to Gas provides the unparalleled energy storage capacity in the TWh range—seasonal storage capability. It can charge energy several days, or even consecutive weeks, without needing to discharge the stored energy. Most developed counties already own a vast energy storage infrastructure through the pressurisation of existing transmission and distribution infrastructure. This allows it to be recharged without the need of it being discharged first, so when the wind blows, this can be taken and used to top up storage, this is critical for storing renewable energy which is intermittent in its generation.
The hydrogen produced is injected into the natural gas system to displace natural gas, so reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance upon fuel imports. If the power is derived mainly from renewable power sources, only low-carbon hydrogen will be produced. Thereby the Power-to-Gas (P2G) approach can facilitate a transition from natural gas to a ‘green’ mixed gas by making use of both of the existing energy grids on a global scale.
