The STORE&GO Demonstration Sites
In STORE&GO complementary technological, economic and societal aspects of power-to-gas with an innovation focus in methanation technologies were implemented and tested by established private enterprises on three demonstration sites in Germany, Italy and Switzerland.
Characteristics of the three demonstration sites
| Demonstration site Falkenhagen/Germany | Demonstration site Solothurn/Switzerland | Demonstration site Troia/Italy | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Representative region with respect to typical generation of RES | Rural area in the North East of Germany with high wind power production and low overall electricity consumption | Municipal area in the Alps region with considerable RES from PV and hydro production | Rural are in the Mediterranean area with high PV capacities, considerable wind power production, low overall electricity consumption |
| Connection to the electricity grid | Transmission grid | Municipal distribution grid | Regional distribution grid |
| Connection to the gas grid | Long distance transport grid | Municipal distribution grid | Regional LNG Distribution network via cryogenic trucks |
| Plant size (in relation to the el. power input) | 1 MW | 700 kW | 200 kW |
| Methanation technology to be demonstrated | Isothermal catalytic honeycomb/structured wall reactors | Biological methanation | Modular milli-structured catalytic methanation reactors |
| CO₂ source | Biogas or bioethanol plant | Waste water treatment plant | CO₂ from atmosphere |
| Heat integration possibilities | Veneer mill | District heating | CO₂ enrichment |
| Existing facilities and infrastructure | 2 MW alkaline electrolyser, hydrogen injection plant | 350 KW PEM electrolyser, hydrogen injection plant, district heating, CHP plant | 1.000 kW alkaline electrolyser |
