E.ON inaugurated a power-to-gas (P2G) unit in Falkenhagen in eastern Germany. The unit uses wind power to run electrolysis equipment that transforms water into hydrogen which is injected into the regional gas transmission system.
The hydrogen becomes part of the natural gas mix and can be used in a variety of applications, including space heating, industrial processes, mobility, and power generation. The unit, which has a capacity of two megawatts, can produce 360 cubic meters of hydrogen per hour. E.ON built and is operating the P2G unit in partnership with Swissgas AG, which will procure some of the unit’s hydrogen output.
