The term Power-to-Gas refers to a technology that converts electrical energy into methane or hydrogen syngas (synthetic gas). The hydrogen turning out in the power-to-gas industry is then utilized as a chemical in industries or fuel. The power-to-gas systems reserve excessive energy from renewable resources such as wind and solar energy and utilize it for several operations. These systems use the stored in transportation, heat supply, and for industrial purposes. The work of the power-to-gas industry is a constructive step in combining renewable resources with sources of power generation.

The market is creating an upsurge in terms of growth, and soon it will expand the power-to-gas market size to another level. The rising demand for power-to-gas systems is the consequence of the elevation of power generation sources integrating with renewable resources. The electricity demand worldwide is growing at a faster rate due to population size increase, rapid urbanization, access to electricity, and infrastructure development. The usage of thermal energy, gas, and diesel for power generation leads to carbon emissions which is extremely hazardous. So, the stakeholders in the power-to-gas industry are focusing on sharing renewable resources with power generation for curtailing carbon footprints. The increased awareness for environmental issues has led to adopting methods that reduce pollution and lower the dependence on electricity generation by fossil fuels.

The concern for growing carbon emission and the procedures in curbing it acts as a booster for the market growth. Many countries like Germany, India, UAE, and Saudi Arabia have aimed to increase renewable energy sources in order to increase the market size. The Saudi Arabian government in 2019 has set goals to produced 60 GW of electricity from renewable resources by 2030. In 2017, the UAE government released Energy Strategy 2050 to escalate renewable energy generation by 50 percent by 2050. In the same year, the government of Germany set the target to attain 98 GW of solar energy capacity by the end of 2030. In 29019, the government of India aimed to reach 100 GW of solar power capacity by 2022. All these advanced developments will result in fueling the potential of the market.

The usage of hydrogen for transportation facilities boosts the need for the power-to-gas industry. The fuel cell electric automobiles, reduced weight, greater efficiency compared to the internal combustion engine, zero-emission has led to heavy demand of the market for transportation purposes. Several countries and their government are taking a lot of initiatives to increase the application of hydrogen in the sector of transportation. Such advanced steps will lead to taking the market value to the optimum level in the next few years.

Power-to-Gas Market COVID19 Analysis

The coronavirus pandemic is impacting severely in terms of both health as well as economic growth. Many industries and working sectors remained closed, and the global economy slowed down like never before. During the lockdown, the energy consumption rate declined to a greater extent which subsequently affected the demand for global energy. The demand for fossil fuel-based power generation was strongly hit during the lockdown. However, the energy generation through renewables did not affect that much. Moreover, the power-to-gas market value was also least affected by the pandemic. The rising demand for advanced options for curtailing CO2 emissions and global adoption of renewable energy sharing with power mix contribute to the growth of the market.

During the lockdown, the requirement for electricity in residential areas was way higher than in commercial and industrial areas. The shape of demand shifted more towards renewables with a power supply mix, and the market growth constantly improved. However, the demand for coal-based, gas-based, and nuclear power-based energy consumption fell off quickly and, in turn, act as a helping hand for the growth of the market value in the near future.
