4 Long Term Storage of Renewable Energy (RE) via P2G -FAQ - Wie erfolgt die Langzeit-Energiespeicherung heute? Welche Speicherkapazität für Erneuerbare Energie wird benötigt? Was ist der beste Pfad EE herzustellen und zu speichern? Kann die bestehende Infrastruktur zur Speicherung und Verteilung genutzt werden? Umwelteinflüsse: Landverbrauch für Speicherung und Energieübertragung? Wo kommt das CO2 für das P2G-Verfahren her? Was ist der zukünftige Kraftstoff für Mobilität?
