3 World wide growth of Renewable Energy

4 Targets of the German Federal Government Climate Protection Targets Reduction of GHG emission based on values by % -55 % -70 % % 1 Energiekonzept vom 28. Sept

5 Targets of the German Federal Government Renewable Energy Source Act (EEG) The purpose of this Act is to facilitate a sustainable development of energy supply, increase the share of renewable energy sources in electricity supply to % 50 % 65 % 80 %

6 Falkenhagen Region Northern Part of Germany Source: Presentation by Dr. Alexander Vogel, Head of Alternative Energy Systems, E.ON Ruhrgas at Gas to Power Conference, Cologne, Germany November

7 Energy Storage benefits Balancing of supply and demand Reduction of grid curtailment at times of high RE supply Seasonal Energy shift Ancillary Services

8 Data Storage: Many Needs + Many Tools Energy Storage is No Different 8

9 Among alternative Energy Storage Technologies hydrogen provides large capacity longer duration capability 9

10 Power-to-Gas converts clean generation when it is not needed into renewable fuel, power or heat where and when it is needed Power-to-Gas Solution Integrate Renewables Renewable Gas Options H2 Clean Fuel Wind Power Surplus Power H2 Dispatchable Power H2/NG Blend Electrolyser Natural Gas Grid Solar Power H2 Low Carbon Heating Industrial H2 10

11 30 Power-to-Gas demonstration projects launched in Europe to date Power-to-Gas Applications Direct Injection H2 Fueling Biogas Methanation Industrial H2 Feed Hydrogenics has supplied electrolysers for 8 projects and 4 of 5 projects 1MW or larger Currently most projects are in pre-startup or early operation phase Source: DNV KEMA.
