Feasibility study for Power To Gas (P2G) plant

Country: Italy
Year: 2019-2020
Activity: Hydrogen – Green & Power

Development of feasibility study for Power to Gas plant, production of synthetic methane from CO2 and H2 through methanation reaction.

Enereco developed the pre-feasibility study by evaluating the current state of the art of different technologies for P2G and the applicability from a technical and economic point of view (CAPEX / OPEX), environmental and commercial.

The concept of “Power to Gas (P2G)” originates from need to find an efficient and dynamic way for store the electricity produced from renewable sources (wind and mainly photovoltaic) that cannot be fed into the public network.

The feasibility study covered:

  • Hydrogen production by electrolysis by comparing AEL PEM and SOEC;
  • Hydrogen compression and storage;
  • Analysis of different load operation of electrolyzer;
  • Thermal-chemical methanation reactor to produce synthetic methane and CO2 storage;
  • Preliminary Capex and Opex;
  • Permission required analysis.

 

DISTINCTIVE DATA:

Three plant sizes were analyzed 2MWe, 5MWe and 10Mwe.
