ZBT scientist Dr. Ulrich Gardemann presented the results from the project “Setup and Operation of a Power to Gas Demonstration Platform” on a poster at the DECHEMA FORUM in Friedrichshafen.
Power-to-Gas Demonstration Platform
The requirements for PtG technologies regarding flexibility and integration in an industry-related environment are high. What potential lies here in the context of renewable energies, sector coupling, and hydrogen derivatives?
In the project, a Power-to-Gas Demonstration Platform was established and operated, which combines established and innovative technologies such as photovoltaics, electrolysis, direct air capture of CO2, and chemical methanation within a plant network. A specific R&D topic was the further development of the ZBT's own methanation technology. The accompanying modelling and simulation aim to enable the transfer of various configurations of process chains as well as operational strategies to other locations, scales, and conditions.
The results support the assessment and optimisation of future energy systems with a high share of renewable energies, but also highlight further research and development needs. The developed methods allow for transfer to various applications and scales.
Ammonia Cracking
ZBT scientist Lena Engelmeier delivered a highly regarded presentation at the forum on the topic “Small Scale Ammonia Cracking for Stationary and Mobile Applications: Challenges and Insights into Recent Developments.”
