Hydrogen from water electrolysis can be stored within the natural gas grid and provide a large energy storage capacity. Due to the specific combustion properties of hydrogen, however, engines and CHP fueled with natural gas are subject to investigations on the effects of hydrogen addition on their operating behavior.

A novel approach combining electrolysis and oxygenated entrained flow gasification enables high carbon efficiency in the production of sustainable Fischer-Tropsch fuels. This power-and-biomass-to-liquid (PBtL) process combines the concepts of using biomass as a carbon and energy source (biomass-to-liquid) and hydrogen as an energy carrier derived from carbon-neutral renewables (power-to-liquid).
