Path towards 100 % renewable energy future and feasibility of power-to-gas technology in Nordic Countries

Ambitious target of reaching 100% renewable share of primary energy supply in Nordic countries by year 2050 is analysed by using TIMES-VTT energy system model. Role and feasibility of power-to-gas (P2G) technologies, producing methane (CH4) gas from surplus electricity, is analysed in context with high levels of wind and solar power. Three scenarios are set with varying constraints for the energy ...
