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. The municipal gas distribution networks can manage these quantities in principle.

The EPoSil concept uses dielectric elastomer transducers to generate electrical energy from wave motion. A German consortium involving four companies and and two universities is developing dielectric elastomers (electroactive polymers) for the conversion of mechanical energy—in this case wave power—into electrical power.

Because the use of natural gas for transportation requires compressing, liquefying, or conversion, it is important to determine the best use of natural gas as a transportation fuel.

Our concept has the following advantages: Compared to carbon dioxide, solid bicarbonates are easy to handle and highly soluble in aqueous media (96 g L -1 NaHCO 3. Most importantly, after full conversion of the formate, the bicarbonate solution may be recharged with hydrogen to close the cycle. at 20 °C in H 2 O).

In comparison, noncoinage transition metals have historical precedence as excellent catalysts, yet are generally considered poor plasmonic metals, because they suffer from large nonradiative damping, which results in broad spectral features and weak absorption across the visible region of the spectrum.
