This chapter provides an overview on the storage technology power-to-gas for the decarbonization of all energy sectors.

Power-to-Gas (PtG), a chemical energy storage technology, can convert surplus electricity into combustible gases. Subsurface energy storage can meet the requirements of long term storage with its large capacity. This paper provides a discussion of the entire PtG energy storage technology process and the current research progress.
Available storage technologies cover a broad range of energy and power specifications and can be roughly divided into three categories based on energy-to-power ratios [28], [70]. Stating energy in units of kWh and power in units of kW, the energy-to-power ratio is the number of hours a technology can charge or discharge at its nominal

Power-to-Gas (PtG), based on chemical energy storage synthetic methane technology, is one of the representative options for providing flexible renewable energy [36]. It can help minimize the expansion of the grid and increase the proportion of renewable energy in the future.
Hydrogen and Power-to-Gas are chemical energy storage technologies; one of five energy storage "families"identified by EASE. Electricity-produced hydrogen can be used for transport (fuel), for heating (fuel), as a raw material (chemical feedstock); to balance electricity demand and supply and to support the management of the electricity

This book presents a detailed analysis of Power-to-Gas, a promising energy storage technology. It discusses the main mechanisms involved, and presents two Power-to-Gas and carbon capture hybridizations. The book begins by providing an introduction to energy storage technologies.
Power-to-gas allows energy from electricity to be stored and transported in the form of compressed gas, often using existing infrastructure for long-term transport and storage of natural gas. P2G is often considered the most promising technology for seasonal renewable energy storage.

Future energy systems typically have a high need for energy storage, specifically long-term energy storage, to account for seasonal fluctuations in energy demand and renewable energy supply. Due to their capability to shift energy on seasonal time scales, Power-to-Gas (PtG) technologies show high potential ( Blanco and Faaij,

Aside from storage in batteries3;4, electrolytic hydrogen production via Power-to-Gas (PtG) processes can rapidly absorb electricity during times of ample power supply and thereby yield valuable hydrogen for industrial customers5{7.
Since sources of renewable energy tend to fluctuate greatly, they cannot easily adjust to changes in energy supply or energy demand without energy storage. [1] Power-to-gas addresses this problem by using electrical energy to generate synthetic natural gas

First of all, power-to-gas aims to store the renewable energy and not to produce energy. The research is based on the expectation that the renewable energy will be the only, or the largest energy source. The solar energy will probably be the most beneficial. Thus, it gains more energy in summer and less in winter.
