The post A Review of Global Power-to-Gas Projects To Date [INTERACTIVE] appeared first on POWER Magazine.
According to experts from Technical University of Applied Sciences (OTH) in Regensburg, Germany, who recently reviewed the world’s existing power-to-gas (P2G) hydrogen and methane projects, about 143 P2G projects have operated since 1988 in 22 countries. Only 56 hydrogen and 38 methanation projects were active in 2019. While the existing fleet mostly comprises pilot or demonstration projects under 1 MW, nearly 45% of these projects fed or planned to feed gas into the grid or reconvert it into power or heat. See POWER magazine’s in-depth analysis, “Why Power-to-Gas May Flourish in a Renewables-Heavy World,” in the December 2019 issue.
About 143 #power-to-gas projects producing #hydrogen and/or #methane have operated since 1988 in 22 countries. Most were pilots or demonstration projects under 1 MW—but that may be about to change.
