Power to Gas

Power to Gas: Patented flexible Methanation Technology

Christof Industries’ solution per se is not new: the conversion of electricity into gas. The greatest challenge is the variable rate of electricity input (e.g. excess electricity from wind farms), which is difficult to handle with traditional technologies. Christof Industries’ research team developed a methane-producing facility which operates perfectly with varying rates of electricity input.

Relevant SDGs

Advantages:

• Energy storage (short-term, seasonal or long-term) of H2 and CH4
• More efficient and higher use of wind power and solar energy – strengthening competitiveness of renewable energies
• Reduced expansion of power grid infrastructure by shifting energy transport to gas grid
• Reduction of the topographical interventions for power lines
• ”Greening“ of energy sources (renewable fuels)
• Self-sufficient solutions
