Power-to-Gas: Renewable Hydrogen Economy for the Energy Transition (De Gruyter Textbook)

The production of renewable electricity and the resulting surplus leads us to ask: how can the use of hydrogen improve the green energy portfolio? The 2nd Edition of Power-to-Gas covers the production of hydrogen via electrolysis, its storage or conversion in another form. It emphasises new technologies and global energy consumption, markets, and logistics. New data is added throughout the 2nd edition in the numerous case studies explored. The increase of renewable electricity production and the resulting surplus lead us to ask: how to improve energy efficiency through the use of hydrogen? This 2nd Edition of Power-to-Gas covers the global energy issues (generation, distribution, consumption, markets), the production of hydrogen via electrolysis, its transportation and storage or conversion in another form. It takes account of the new energy challenges facing the world and the development of experimentations by adding new projects and realisations.
