Is Power-to-Gas a Viable Option?
Renewable energy capacity has grown significantly in recent years as it has become more cost competitive with natural gas and coal-fired power generation. Even as the market forces of falling cost and regulatory action are in favor of renewable energy, storing renewable energy has been challenging. Storing renewable energy is inefficient and large amounts of […]
Coal, carbon capture, and EOR: A triple crown of synergies
