DanuP-2-Gas Optimization Tool

DanuP-2-Gas Optimization Tool is a tool for optimal sizing of power-to-gas hubs. P2G hubs can:

🌱 produce biogas and biochar from both dry and wet biomass
⚡️ produce electricity from biogas with an addition of hydrogen
⚛️ use electrolyser to produce hydrogen
🧪 produce syngas from biochar
⛽️ combine CO2, and hydrogen to produce methane (CNG)
☀️ be coupled with an existing renewable energy plant to use its green electricity
🏭 be coupled with an existing industrial plant to provide it with CNG produced in a sustainable way

Optimization result is not only the specification of the obtained P2G hub but also includes time diagrams of consumed and produced energy and material, i.e. the tool also gives optimized scheduling of the P2G hub operation.
