CoSeCats – a scalable, load-flexible catalyst reactor system for the chemical storage of renewable energy
The expansion of renewable energies will increasingly lead to situations in which electricity generation exceeds demand.
Therefore, technologies are needed that can store these surpluses efficiently.
A key technology are Power-to-X processes, which enable storage by converting electrical energy into chemical substances.
A team at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg has been researching core-shell catalyst pellets that enable the flexible operation of Power-to-X processes.
The catalyst pellets prevent problematic temperature increases at high product yields, even under dynamic conditions resulting from the fluctuating availability of renewable energies.
