It is now possible to convert renewable electricity into synthetic natural gas with the aid of a new process. This would solve the issue of storage of excess wind/solar energy. The process "separates water from surplus renewable energy using electrolysis. The result is hydrogen and oxygen," explains Dr. Michael Specht of ZSW. "A chemical reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide generates methane - and that is nothing other than natural gas, produced synthetically."
