The Jupiter 1000 development is the first French power to gas project, seeking to store renewable electricity by injecting hydrogen into the gas supply network. This project is expected to be commissioned in 2018 in Fos-sur-Mer and will use 1 MW of electrolysers to produce hydrogen from water.<\/p>\n
As part of the Jupiter 1000 project, McPhy Energy, a developer of hydrogen-based solutions, will supply GRTgaz, a natural gas transmission system operator, with hydrogen production equipment. The hydrogen will be injected into the natural gas network, either directly or after transformation into methane, the principal constituent of natural gas.<\/p>\n
The Jupiter 1000 project: hydrogen will be injected into the gas supply network
\n\u201cThis project marks the first step in launching power-to-gas in France. This sector has already demonstrated its efficacy in other countries in contributing to building essential new models for energy transition,\u201d said McPhy Energy\u2019s CEO, Pascal Mauberger.<\/p>\n
In a separate development, fuel cell company PowerCell Sweden has launched a pilot study into how storing renewable energy as hydrogen can provide electricity on cloudy and windless days.<\/p>\n
The study is expected to lead to a demonstration project in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2016.<\/p>\n
Per Wass\u00e9n, CEO of PowerCell Sweden, said: \u201cThis [could] lead to a completely new, large-scale industry created around this area, i.e., hydrogen storage of surplus energy from wind and solar energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s comment: By transforming surplus electricity originating from wind and solar energy into hydrogen or methane, power-to-gas offers a solution to the challenges associated with variable output renewables. These challenges are anticipated to become more acute as the roll out of renewables gathers pace.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Jupiter 1000 development is the first French power to gas project, seeking to store renewable electricity by injecting hydrogen into the gas supply network.
