Super P2G

Goal

The goal of SuperP2G (Ssynergies Utilising renewable Power REregionally by means of Power To Gas) is to lower the threshold for putting P2G into practice for smart energy systems, sectoral integration and local and regional development.

The sub-objectives of the consortium are:32.

• Optimise P2G systems by connecting leading national projects/regions related to P2G in the EU, to exploit synergies with regard to the tools and procedures used in evaluating P2G;
• Highlight the potential for P2G in each country involved and draw pan-European conclusions regarding the technology, market conditions and stakeholder adaptation;
• Increasing visibility and awareness levels about the possibilities of P2G across Europe, particularly in the countries involved.

Description

Integrating energy vectors is essential to ensure cost-effective integration of renewable energy. P2G contributes to the overall efficiency and balance of the energy system through energy storage and the transmission of green energy to end-users. Currently, no regional commercial P2G projects have emerged.

SuperP2G will ensure that P2G solutions can be commercially implemented by contributing to:

1. technical optimization and system integration,
2. market access and acceptance,
3. developing solutions for adoption.

SuperP2G connects leading P2G initiatives in five countries. Each national project focuses on different challenges, with researchers collaborating with local stakeholders to find solutions. SuperP2G focuses on improving existing tools, including open access, and is developing a new open tool based on the OptiFlow and H2IndexII tools. This is supplemented by regulatory and market analysis, as well as stakeholder engagement.

Results

The results include a set of tools and procedures to promote the implementation of P2G in energy systems. Furthermore, the project will develop a new common European standard tool for P2G evaluation based on OptiFlow (FutureGas) and H2IndexII (HYPOS).

Other results include scientific articles from the various case studies, including models for the assessment of power-to-gas systems.
