ENSURE - Preventing extreme situations in the local power grid with chemical reactorsENSURE - Preventing extreme situations in the local power

Project

The ENSURE project is investigating various extreme situations that may occur in local grids in the future and ways of avoiding them. The focus is on the expected peak loads and issues relating to grid stability. The aim is to analyse which flexibilities and requirements new sector coupling technologies such as Power-to-X and X-to-Power must… ...

R&D at the HEPP plant

Project

At the HEPP plant (High Efficiency Power-to-Methane Pilot), the IET Institute of Energy Technology is conducting research and development in the field of power-to-gas, power-to-X. In 2017, the power-to-gas team started this project with a lot of pioneering spirit. Today, almost four years after the first concept idea, the pioneering spirit is still… ...

Solar Fuels for Ethiopia: Establishment of a competence centre for Power-to-XSolar Fuels for Ethiopia: Establishment of a competence

Project

A large proportion of the rural population in Ethiopia suffers from energy poverty. For those affected, biomass (primarily firewood) is the only available source of energy. The overexploitation of Ethiopia's forests can only be stopped if the population has access to suitable fuel alternatives. Locally produced solar fuels using Power-to-X (P2X)… ...

HIGGS – Hydrogen in Gas Grids

Project

The HIGGS project aims to show that the safe injection of hydrogen into the EU high pressure transmission natural gas grid is a sustainable, long-term solution to decarbonise the energy system. HIGGS is going to identify remaining weaknesses regarding H2-Readiness and develop a pathway for a stepwise integration of hydrogen in the EU gas network. ...
