PSI, an HERMES project partner, published a new study entitled “Comprehensive analysis of renewable energy integration in decarbonised mobility: Leveraging power-to-X storage with biogenic carbon sources”. In this study, the conceptual design of a system for delivering constant energy supply to a decarbonized urban mobility setting was conducted. Two systems were designed based on battery electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles. The primary energy supply is renewable electricity, converted to H2 in an electrolyzer for fuel cell electric vehicles. Excess electricity is stored as methane or methanol, synthesized using CO2 from biogas upgrading. Technical performance indicators were calculated using data from the city of Zurich.
