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. Scientific partners will participate in the operational phase.
