The SP2 group focuses on the chemical energy storage based on the conversion of renewable electrical energy into the energy contained in chemical bonds.
The conversion technology, Power to X (P2X), converts renewable feedstock air (CO2, N2) and water into energy dense fuels and chemicals, providing long-term (seasonal), large-scale (EJ) energy storage capacity. P2X couples the power sector to other sectors of the energy system, thereby reducing overall CO2 emissions. SP2 contributes to SET Plan Action 1 Development of renewable technologies and integration in the EU energy system, Action 2 Cost reduction and Action 8, Renewable Fuels for Sustainable Transport.
