Power-to-gas involves using excess renewable power to manufacture carbon-neutral synthetic methane. That methane can then be liquidized, transported using existing LNG carries, and fed into the existing natural-gas networks. This fuel is carbon-neutral and can be used in flexible gas generation in place of natural gas.
