Gas 2.0 – Gas in TransitionThe role of P2G in the transition to a sustainable society
Future energy system – how far away?
Energy Valley Concept
Focus: increase employment in the energy sector. Increase energy-knowledge in Northern Netherlands.
Focus on energy transition: innovative and renewable energy
Through: cooperation business, knowledge institutes and government use and development of regional strenghts, knowledge and opportunities Northern Netherlands as a “living lab” for energy innovation and
knowledge
Focus: National front runner: Green Deal, Topsector, National Energy Agreement European level: coalition Northern Germany and North Sea region

Dynamic Energy sector
Energy Transition CO2-reduction/climate change Dependence on fossil energy
Internationalisation Energy markets Scale/integration European energymarkets European energy specializations
Privatization Energy sector Separation of energieproduction and -transport Democratization energysystem / decentralization
New opportunities for the Northern energy economy

Linking Pin of Europe
Largest producer of natural gas in the European Union (8th global)
In the heart of the European gas infrastructure (Gasroundabout)
On the cross roads of the European high voltage grid
Located on the North Sea with well equipped energy harbours

A lot of wind comes a shore
UK:15000 MWUK:15000 MW
BEL:2000 MWBEL:2000 MW
NL:6000 MWNL:6000 MW
GER:40000 MW ??GER:40000 MW ??
DK:4000 MWDK:4000 MW
Total windpower development offshore approx between 20.000 and 100.000 MW?
11
Holy grail of sustainable energyChallenge is to absorb the sustainable power in a effective, robust and future oriented energy system
The gas system can deliver the reliability and flexibility necessary to make the transition to a sustainable energy system
Holy grail = storage
Many solutions: pumped storage power plants, Compressed Air Energy Storage, Hydrogen and Methane storage….
12
From Elektron to ProtonTwo pathways – Power to Gas
HydrogenProduction of Hydrogen through elektrolyses of water using surplus power followed by evacuation into the natural gas grid
Substitute Natural GasProduction of methane through reaction of CO2 with Hydrogen followed by evacuation into natural gas grid
13
From Elektron to ProtonMaybe a third pathway – Power to Product
MethanolReaction of Hydrogen with CO2 into methanol
LNGHydrogen could be ‘mixed’ with LNG tot increase the sustainable content

Cooperation HADES
The ingredients for HADES are available in the North-Netherlands and the NW European, but also in the broader European context
Wind and renewable power is available in ever increasing power ranges
The natural gas grid is widely available and is the transition enabler
Sufficient (fossil based) power plants are available
Chemical industry complexes are available
17
Next steps – triple jump
Investigate: Consider a joint cooperative action combining knowledge from Europe
Innovate: Design a smart P2G concept with roll out potential
Invest: In a large P2G Pilot and roll out!!
