Summary
This topic focuses on the demonstration of decentralized production of renewable gaseous energy carriers other than hydrogen and purified biomethane, namely biogas and syngas for example, and its integration in local energy systems and/or energy consuming industries for direct electricity and heat and cooling production.
Detailed Call Description
Demonstration of decentralized production of renewable gaseous energy carriers other than hydrogen and purified biomethane, namely biogas and syngas for example, and its integration in local energy systems and/or energy consuming industries for direct electricity and heat and cooling production. Demonstration of the integration of small and flexible modular gas production units, its associated infrastructure and development of digital interfaces for the connection to electricity and heat/cooling sectors are included. The integrated modules and components should be optimized to increase flexibility, security, affordability, and robustness to the local energy supply. Conditions for injection to the grid of renewable unrefined gases should be identified. A techno-economic analysis should be included to address the cost-effectiveness of the integrated solution. A life Cycle Analysis should be carried out for the assessment of the GHG emission reduction due to the renewable gas integration. Interfaces to governance issues of system integration, as for example market design, network regulation, CO2 market, renewables support, etc. should be addressed. Effects of Community involvement should be addressed with an analysis of socioeconomic sustainability.
