Solution XI: Power-to-X solutions
ShowHide Quick Links
Power-to-X solutions, such as power-to-hydrogen and power-to-heat, are able to address the short-term variability of renewable energy generation and also can help address seasonal variability, providing the option to store energy over longer periods of time. The process of converting the power generated from solar and wind sources to different types of energy carriers for use across multiple sectors, or to be reconverted back into power, has the potential to greatly increase the flexibility of the power grid. It builds an optional place to put the temporary surplus of power from VRE and reduces carbon by displacing fossil fuel energy sources in other sectors. Read more
