The case for using Power-to-Gas solutions to store renewable energy is compelling for a number of important use cases, according to a new white paper released by the California Hydrogen Business Council (CHBC). P2G systems use electrolysis powered by renewable energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen—i.e., Click to enlarge.

The objective of the project is to develop a high power and high energy electrical storage system that combines the strengths of each technology—high power density for ultracapacitors and high energy storage for Li-ion batteries—at equal or better system efficiency and net cost/density compared to current conventional Li-ion batteries.

The main potential applications are in electricity storage, transport and the recovery of waste heat. Since the density of liquid air is greater than compressed air, with the same size of tank the energy content could increase by a factor of three, increasing the urban range to 300 km (186 miles), Ricardo says.
