The broad field of hydrogen and power-to-gas promises us renewable energy storage and use in molecular forms-either gaseous or liquid-to decarbonise all energy sectors that currently depend on fossil fuels. We have recently witnessed a number of technical developments, trends and advancements that have enabled us to stand where we stand today. We find ourselves at a crossroads between theoretical groundwork and the actual, large-scale technical implementation of the energy transition.This reprint brings together current research findings from highly diverse disciplines, all of which can make a valuable contribution to the success of the energy transition. The research results yield insights into possible partial solutions that can be implemented in national, regional or even local energy systems at different implementation levels and detail, depending on boundary conditions and specific demands.The first contribution in this reprint is an editorial summarising the ten following research articles. It contains a table of the articles including research fields, titles, and methods. The reader can use it as a quick overview before turning to the detailed articles. The overarching themes covered here are: combustion research, electro catalysis, energy economy, energy storage, mobility, energy system analyses and finally, energy law and regulation.Enjoy reading "Progress in Power-to-Gas Energy Systems" to receive your personal update on this exciting research field.

Le changement climatique, résultant de l'émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) dans l'atmosphère, pourrait modifier profondément l'équilibre de la planète. Malgré des engagements forts au niveau mondial, mais surtout au niveau européen, les progrès enregistrés sont extrêmement décevants. Ce livre a pour ambition d'apporter aux citoyens une information complète, mais aussi à la portée de tous, sur l'évolution en France, en Europe et dans le monde. Il dresse un panorama de l'énergie, productions et consommations, de son impact sur le dérèglement climatique, mais également sur la biosphère, la santé, l'économie et la société. Plus particulièrement, en ce qui concerne la France, les objectifs de la Loi relative à la transition énergétique pour une croissance verte (LTECV) sont rappelés et examinés. Les premiers résultats se révèlent souvent décevants. Pour sortir de cet échec des éléments de réflexion sont proposés, pour une politique de l'énergie efficace basée sur des priorités claires et des échéances cohérentes. Cette politique doit tenir compte de la situation particulière de la France, qui bénéficie aujourd'hui d'une électricité n'émettant que très peu de gaz carbonique, le principal gaz à effet de serre. Or la politique nationale a donné depuis une dizaine d'année priorité à une réduction du nucléaire, décarboné, plutôt qu'à la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. La France devrait être capable de respecter ses engagements, à condition de réorienter la LTECV avec un objectif clair de réduction des émissions de GES, au meilleur coût et en préservant le lien social qui nous unis dans de nombreux domaines grâce aux infrastructures communes bâties par le génération précédentes (électricité, gaz, eau, réseaux de transports, ...).

"Energy is an essential component of all life. The increasing demand for energy for human life and its impact on the environment necessitate a rethinking of the energy use system. Green energy is the solution to many of the environmental issues that we face today. The book concentrates on the notion of green energy and its application"--

Taking the growing South African mining town of Emalahleni as a case study, this book investigates whether a just transition from coal-generated energy is possible and what the local implications of this global restructuring of the energy sector will be.

The world is digitising as the need for low-carbon transitions gains urgency. Decarbonising energy requires the digital process control of energy production, transmission and end use. Diversified electrification across sectors requires real-time digital coordination of distributed energy production, At the same time, digitisation is accompanied by significant increases in energy demand, partly compensated through energy efficiency gains. The emergent linkages between digitisation and decarbonisation – that constitute and enable the twin transition – are the subject of this book. The collection features authors from across the social sciences who situate digitisation and low-carbon energy transitions in the socio-technical and political economic contexts in which they unfold, to offer insights on the dynamics and contingencies of digitisation in and beyond the energy sector. This is an open access book.
