Flexibility of Power-to-Gas
Power-to-Gas converts surplus non-emitting power into renewable fuel, power or heat when and where it is needed
Power-to-Gas Solution
H2 to Liquid Fuel
Dispatchable Power
Nuclear
Canadas electricity is a relatively low-carbon power supply 75% is supplied from non-emitting supplies (large hydro, nuclear and renewables) 1
Objective is to increase to 90% non-emitting by 2020 Challenging and costly without energy storage: Increasing renewables adds to surplus conditions Adds to exports which subsidize neighbouring economies Wastes non-emitting energy by turning off wind turbines and spilling water over dams
Increasing public push-back against new energy infrastructure like wind, nuclear, electricity transmission etc.

As Renewable Penetration Grows Scale Matters Unique Contracting path is needed to unlock the value of Power-to-Gas
Gas storage exceeds potential of alternative bulk options Consumer Benefit low marginal cost of pipeline storage

Power-to-Gas Operators
Pipeline Services
1) Balance power grid for less $$ 2) Reduce curtailment of wind, hydro & nuclear 3) Enable renewable conservation
1) Green gas from wasted energy 2) Gas storage exists, is proven & low cost 3) Renewable premium on customer bill is less

Happy Consumers
Large consumer benefits, but contracting needs to bridge electricity and gas sectors
Power-to-Gas Benefits
1. Conservation of renewable energy with existing systems
Do more with less renewable generation
2.
3.

Advocating for market rules that support storage investments in North American markets
Demonstrate benefits of distributed, modular, scalable storage with short construction periods

Data derived from Pembina Institute modeling of 2009/2010/2011 AESO market data
Economics driven by combination of electrolyzer capacity factor (capital amortized over MWh) and input price of electricity

Scenarios
1. Hydrogen Production for Upgrading 2. Natural Gas Offset (regardless of end-use) 3. Electricity Generation Offset

Assumptions: Market penetration based on AESOs current projected wind capacity in Alberta. Wind capacity factor of 32% which is based on actual performance from 2008-2012 Electrolyzers store (charges) for 63% of the time based on the availability of wind at $40/MWh or less (between 2009-2011)
18
Assumptions:
Revenues include electricity ancillary services Electrolyzer capacity factor ~ 63% based on Alberta historical wind availability for 2009/10/11 Input electricity price averaged $26/MWh with a cap at $40/MWh as the Cut-Off price signal
Expanded Market Scenario: Increased demand-pull with modest penetration of renewable hydrogen for upgrading.
Assuming no additional upgrader capacity in the province

Societal
Maximize existing inventory of renewable and nonemitting power; less pressure to build new plants
Urban Friendly; Strategy uses existing pipelines, storage and power plants
Reduced emissions; dispatchable power plants run on renewable fuel
