California Hydrogen Business Council says a robust P2G RD&D program should be a priority for the state

Green Car Congress

Power-to-Gas concept. According to the white paper, an important distinction between P2G and other forms of energy storage is that P2G allows conversion of energy amongst a variety of sectors and end-uses (e.g., Constraining storage solutions to “electricity-in, electricity-out” only will increase the cost of intermittency.
