Power-to-gas
Serving renewables
In addition to enabling the increasingly accessible diffusion of sustainable electricity, solar and wind energy are revolutionising market dynamics. Managing electricity generation based on consumption is an outdated paradigm: the current demand is to obtain as much energy as possible when renewable sources are available by organising green electrons in space and time.
The answer to this need is power-to-gas, P2G, which transforms surplus electricity into green molecules that can be transported over long distances at low cost with less and less leakage. At the same time, it offers the option of seasonal storage for renewable energy, to be used at times when demand is highest.

Expertise areas
Hydrogen
Hydrogen combustion does not release carbon dioxide, but rather steam, and it is easier to transport and store than electricity. This makes hydrogen the ideal ally for renewable energy production.
Today, hydrogen can only be injected into the pipeline network and blended with natural gas up to certain percentages: we are commited to creating systems and devices that can overcome this limit.
Biomethane
Unlike other renewables, biomethane requires limited investment in terms of infrastructure. Moreover, regarding emissions, it is considered to be neutral as it is produced via the digestion of biomass from by-products, industrial processing waste and organic material.
Specific incentives promoted at the European level are making its use economically sustainable, and as a result production and use of this source are being strongly encouraged.
