E.ON Power-to-Gas facility begins commercial operations; wind-to-H2

Green Car Congress

The plant uses wind power and Hydrogenics’ electrolysis equipment to transform water into hydrogen, which is then injected into the existing regional natural gas transmission system. It will reduce the need to take wind turbines offline when the local grid is congested and will therefore enable us to harness more wind power.
