Some of these sources—particularly the widely available solar power—are weather-dependent; therefore, utility-scale energy storage will be more and more important. These solar and wind power fluctuations range from minutes (passing cloud) to whole seasons (winter/summer differences). Short-term storage can be solved (at least theoretically) with batteries; however, seasonal storage—due to the amount of storable energy and the self-discharging of some storage methods—is still a challenge to be solved in the near future. We believe that biological Power-to-Methane technology—especially combined with biogas refinement—will be a significant player in the energy storage market within less than a decade. The technology produces high-purity methane, which can be considered—by using green energy and carbon dioxide of biological origin—as a Renewable Natural Gas, or RNG. The ease of storage and use of methane, as well as the effective carbon-freeness, can make it a competitor for batteries or hydrogen-based storage, especially for storage times exceeding several months.Technology: general issuesbicsscHistory of engineering & technologybicsscseasonal energy storagepower-to-methanewastewater treatment plantstechno-economic assessmentpower-to-gasregulationenergy storagebiogasbiomethanedisruptive technologydecarbonizationinnovationPower-to-GasPower-to-FuelP2MP2GP2Fbiomethanizationbiomethanationcompetitivenesshydrogen utilizationHungaryPower-to-XPower-to-HydrogenPower-to-Methanehydrogenmethanationsector couplingsectoral integrationenergy transitioneFuelselectric fuels100% renewable energy scenariosthermophilic biogasfed-batch reactorMethanothermobactermetagenomestarvationH2 and CO2 conversionmethaneacetateTechnology: general issuesHistory of engineering & technologyImre Attila Redt1279061Imre Attila RothBOOK9910595077103321Seasonal Energy Storage with Power-to-Methane Technology3041195UNINA
