STORE&GO
Integration of Power-to-Gas technology into the future European energy system.
Goal
STORE&GO aims to demonstrate and evaluate the use of Power-to-Gas (P2G) as a storage technology for sustainable energy. It will result in three pilot plants, a roadmap for large-scale implementation through 2050, and policy recommendations.
Description
The STORE&GO project contributes to accelerating the energy transition by demonstrating how surplus sustainable electricity can be converted into synthetic gas via Power-to-Gas. This enables storage and later use, increases the flexibility of the European energy system, and utilizes existing gas infrastructure. Approximately 200 professionals have been trained through the "Power to (the) Molecules" training program, encouraging knowledge sharing and application of the technology, preparing energy professionals for the future.
Our role
New Energy Coalition (formerly Energy Valley) played an active role in the launch and implementation of STORE&GO. We contributed to the project development, the implementation of activities by the Hanze, and increasing visibility and implementation opportunities within our network. Our New Energy Business School (formerly EDI) developed the three-day training program "Power to (the) Molecules," in which approximately 200 participants gained insight into power-to-gas and the project's results.
Partners
The STORE&GO project was carried out by 27 partners from six European countries. In addition to New Energy Coalition (formerly Energy Valley) en New Energy Businesschool (formerly EDI), DVGW (Duitsland), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Electrochaea GmbH (Duitsland), Climeworks AG (Zwitserland), Regio Energie Solothurn (Zwitserland), Comune di Troia (Italië), Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (Nederland), Hanzehogeschool Groningen (Nederland) – ECN (nu onderdeel van TNO, Nederland) en Uniper Energy Storage (Duitsland) participated in the project.
