Storing Renewable Electricity as Molecules: Hydrogen and RNG

Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES)78 minEnglish

Why watch it?

Curtailed renewable electricity can be stored long-term as molecules, argue NREL researchers Kevin Harrison and Nancy Dowe. Their pathway runs from electrolytic hydrogen through biological methanation with waste CO2 in a bioreactor to storage in existing natural gas infrastructure. They also discuss what it takes for the route to be financially viable and the U.S. DOE's H2@Scale initiative. Hosted by the Colorado Renewable Energy Society in 2022; the talk starts at about 7:49 and is followed by Q&A.
