This workshop focussed on Power-to-Gas technology (P2G). Under the title "Making sector integration concrete: Innovation Potential of Power-to-Gas?", Germanwatch discussed with around 50 participants how we can embed the innovative technology into the energy system in a meaningful way in order to promote sector integration. Germanwatch also wanted to know from the participants whether the connected-cellular approach to power-to-gas provides good answers to the energy system questions.
Due to the changed conditions caused by Covid-19, the workshop, which was originally planned as a face-to-face event, took place online via Zoom. On the first day of the workshop, the participants got to know the different actors and their respective perspectives and jointly identified the central issues regarding the role and use of power-to-gas in the integrated energy system. On the 2nd day of the workshop, solutions and answers to the questions identified the day before were worked out together and the next necessary steps were put forward.
This workshop took place as part of the broader RGI / Germanwatch project, 'Shaping the Grid Debate', which seeks to advance the debate between different civil society actors and the broader public on the topic of renewable energy and the electricity grid.
