Power to Gas (P2G) could offer a superb
solution to the problem of balancing out wind turbine generation
fluctuations. Two pilot plants are now operational in Germany, one
operated by EON and the other by RWE Power. Both use similar
principles of applying the surplus electricity to generate hydrogen
from water, either by electrolysis or via a particle exchange
membrane (PEM). Once produced the hydrogen can be stored, and used
for a variety of purpose, including additions to the gas main, methane generation from flue gas emissions, CHP
and fuel cells for hydrogen cars. The trial EON Wind Turbine plant at
Kelmarsh could be a valuable source of new, clean and low cost fuel
and employment for the East Midlands; which is now linked the the
European Hydrogen Highway. Reducing our reliance on imported Russian
gas has to be good for our economy.This technology cold also be used to create quality job opportunities and economic growth for the North East of England, where just over the Border Scotland is now able export clean electricity to England.
