Power to methane: WP1: state-of-the-art and future prospects of biological power-to-methane (bioP2M) approaches

Power to methane provides a solution to a couple of two problems: unbalanced production and demand of wind plus solar power electricity and the low methane content of biogas by storing electricity via hydrogen into methane gas using carbon dioxide from biogas and methanogenic bacteria. The four-year project is performed by a consortium of three research institutes and five companies. In WP1 the-state-of- the-art of scientific knowledge on P2M technology is reviewed and evaluated.
