Power 2 Gas heating up
"Electricity, gas

June 6, 2013

Arnhem - Eleven leading European companies, including Alliander, have the Power to North Sea Gas Platform established. This new platform allows for research into the development of Power-to-Gas: the conversion of electricity into gas.


There is increasing renewable electricity available, but the production of wind and solar energy varies. This produces questions like: how do we match supply and demand of electricity on each other? Another challenge is transporting the increasing volumes of electricity from wind and solar parks to end users. What if there is more excited than the network capacity? Expanding our energy networks consumes a lot of money. And what do we do when there is more excited than the question? Saving electricity is not possible on a large scale.

Increase renewable energy possible
Power-to-Gas (P2G) can be a solution because the electricity generated can be used in different types of gases. Converted These gases can be transported through the gas infrastructure, or stored. Next, to be used for heating of buildings, transportation and the chemical industry. These gases Further research may P2G make the increase in the share of renewable energy as possible in the overall European energy mix.

CO2 neutral gas in 2050
The energy innovation P2G is an important issue for the realization of a CO2-neutral gas in the year 2050. Esther Hardi (Alliander) explains why Alliander is involved: "In the Netherlands we have a very good gas network through which gas is available almost everywhere. At large distances is also cheaper than gas electricity transmission. We are a good partner in this development because we have both electricity and gas networks. For us it is interesting because we can use. "Our two networks optimally

The North Sea Power to Gas Platform is a joint body of stakeholders and focused on the further development of the concept of P2G in the countries around the North Sea. The Platform is an initiative of energy knowledge company DNV KEMA and includes Fluxys Belgium and Hydrogenics (Belgium), Energinet.dk and Maersk Oil (Denmark); Alliander, Gasunie and TenneT (Netherlands), ITM Power and National Grid (UK), and Open Grid Europe (Germany).
