Hydrogen for the Lake Constance region
This short study shows the future role of hydrogen as an energy carrier and raw material in a sustainable economy. In the short term, the local production of hydrogen and its use are important, including in the Lake Constance region. From 2030 onwards, the import of sustainable hydrogen will become increasingly important to cover the entire demand. A European hydrogen infrastructure is being planned and will also reach Lake Constance by 2030.

High proportion of H2 in the converted natural gas law
If a climate-neutral gas supply is to be achieved in Europe, substitution with green hydrogen is unavoidable. hydrogen is unavoidable. As part of a European project, the OST - Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences has analysed the economic viability of high proportions of hydrogen in natural gas with regard to transport in the high-pressure network. To this end, OST has created a numerical model that can be used to analyse the gas transport network in terms of operating behaviour and transport

Research platform for Power-to-X
In the future renewable energy supply, power-to-gas and power-to-X stabilise the electricity grid, store energy and generate renewable gas and other energy sources. stabilise the electricity grid, store energy and produce renewable gas and other energy sources. In Rapperswil, the IET Institute for Energy Technology has set up a research platform in which new technologies and systems are developed together with partners. It has already been possible to important contributions to the establishment of power-to-gas in Switzerland.

Power-to-X at the IET Institute for Energy Technology 2016 - 2020
Our work in the Power-to-X department started in 2014 with the operation of the first Power-toMethane plant in Switzerland. Since then, the team has grown from three to twelve employees. Together with many partnerships from academia and industry, we have carried out about 100 projects. Our most important and largest projects are presented in this report.

Thermodynamics of power-to-gas
This document describes the thermodynamics of power-to-gas and covers both power-to-hydrogen and power-to-methane. The focus is on understanding the individual components and the entire power-to-gas system as a thermodynamic system, as well as the integration of power-to-gas into our energy supply.
