Abstract:

Power-to-Gas is particularly applicable in Ontario’s energy market, due to the abundance of curtailed renewable energy. During off peak hours this results in not only low carbon, but low-cost electricity making hydrogen generation a highly profitable and environmentally friendly venture.

Despite the benefits listed above, there has yet to be a full-scale adoption of Power-to-Gas technology both globally and in the local market. This eliminate this hesitation there is a requirement for diverse, profitable proof of concept installations and a public uncertainty regarding the inherent safety of the technology.  It is the objective of this thesis to address these concerns by demonstrating the versatility of hydrogen in different energy system configurations, to show how layered revenue streams can produce profits in the face of policy uncertainty and by outlining the risks and control methods available to mitigate the safety concerns associated with Hydrogen.
