Modelling Resource Availability for Power-to-Gas Infrastructure - A Case Study in the Danube Basin.

Power-to-gas (P2G) is a key technology for the energy transition. However, data on biogenic resources and surplus renewable electricity needed for sector coupling is either not available at all, incomplete, barely differentiated and not standardized. The project DanuP-2-Gas tackled this issue by analysing the data availability and needs for the Danube Basin, collecting data and subsequently visualizing it in an GIS-based Atlas Tool. Main challenges were the lack of uniform data and the lack of spatial differentiation of the biomass availability. Still, an overview of the general feasibility of P2G in the Danube region countries could be provided.
