Green natural gas

The project aims at demonstrating the feasibilitt of integrating the gas and electricity systems by generating Green Natural Gas by the use of efficient Solid Oxide electrolysis. This integration is considered a critical element in the future integration of large amounts of wind power in the energy system.

Project description

The objective of this project is to provide systems analysis and key component development for 'Green Natural Gas' (Green-NG) production based on Solid Oxide electrolysis and renewable of CO2 and electricity. By Green-NG is understood a 'green' methane (CH4) based gas which is compatible with the existing natural gas grid. Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOEC) is chosen as electrolysis technology because it is the potentially most energy- and cost-efficient electrolysis technology and because very promising technical results have been demonstrated recently. The project will include a cost-analysis for Green-NG systems which will be used to provide aa roadmap for the technology. This cost-analysis and roadmap will be important elements in the future decisions on how to cost-effectively integrate large amounts of fluctuating (wind power) energy in the Danish energy system.
