Analysis of acceptance of ‘power to gas’
Within the scope of the socially well accepted ‘PtG concept for efficient and flexible storage and energy infrastructure for integrating renewable energies in Baden-Württemberg’
Client
DVGW Research Centre at Engler-Bunte Institute of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Gas Technology for the Ministry of the Environment, Climate Protection and the Energy Sector Baden-Württemberg
Duration 2014 – 2016
Background
In addition to the phase-out of nuclear energy, the long-term climate protection objectives of the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg are to be realised through a reduction in energy consumption and a massive expansion of renewables. The ‘power to gas’ project involved a technological approach that interconnects electricity generation, heat demand and mobility. The technical measures were being examined for their societal acceptance.
