Unlike those you may have grown accustomed to seeing, many of these stations don’t just charge electric cars—they can also send power from vehicle batteries to the local utility grid for use by homes and businesses. Debates over the feasibility and value of such vehicle-to-grid technology go back decades. This is good for the grid.

The basic concept of power-to-gas (or e-Gas, as Audi calls it), is to “store” excess renewable electricity by producing hydrogen, which can then either be converted to methane; injected into the gas distribution grid directly; or used as a vehicle fuel.

LPG already provides our customers with a cleaner rural energy choice to the high-carbon fuel alternatives many are dependent on in off-grid areas.

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. If taken from such sources, hydrogen is a fossil fuel, and is not a renewable resource. Hence its supply would not be cheap, renewable nor sustainable in the long term. Fletcher, S.,
