million) STORE&GO research project. In this second stage, hydrogen from regenerative energy sources is converted into methane (CH 4 ), i.e. synthetic natural gas, using CO 2 from a bio-ethanol plant. This stored energy is then available as backup whenever there is an insufficient supply of solar and wind power.

is developing a pilot plant in Falkenhagen in the north east of Germany to convert power from wind energy into hydrogen which can then be stored in the country’s gas grid. Using power from renewable energy sources, the plant will produce about 360 m 3 (30 kg) of hydrogen per hour from 2013 onwards through electrolysis.

The Audi e-gas plant, which can convert six megawatts of input power, will utilize renewable electricity for electrolysis, producing oxygen and hydrogen, the latter which could one day power fuel-cell vehicles. As such, it can be distributed to CNG stations via the natural gas network and will power vehicles starting in 2013.

Starting in 2013, Audi will begin series production of TCNG models whose engines—derived from TFSI units—will be powered by e-gas: synthetic methane produced via the methanation of hydrogen produced by electrolysis using renewable electricity. Wind turbines are the first significant component of the Audi e-gas project.

The gas is then stored in McPhy’s HDS 100 system, which is based on magnesium hydride technology developed and manufactured by McPhy Energy in La Motte-Fanjas, France. MWh), is the first in a commercial range reaching up to 500 kg of stored hydrogen (16.5 ENERTRAG and wind-hydrogen solutions.

Power-to-Gas is a novel way to store energy at utility scale, whereby surplus electrical grid power is converted into hydrogen gas. Over a 24 hour period, the Falkenhagen facility will be able to store over 30 MWh of energy. —Daryl Wilson, President and CEO of Hydrogenics.

Power-to-gas, or e-gas as Audi calls it, converts surplus electricity into synthetic natural gas and utilizes the existing gas infrastructure. Alternatively, it is also possible to convert it back into electricity with the aid of gas power stations. Direct use can be made of natural gas in homes or to drive vehicles.
