Conclusions & Recommendations Power-to-gas Alkaline electrolysers offer better levelised cost (93.4 CHF/MWh-1 MW system). PEM drawbacks: degradation and initial cost. P2M increases the levelised cost by 15-30 % regarding P2H. Optimum wholesale price condition for alkaline (43 CHF/MWh) and PEM (46 CHF/MWh) electrolysers was stablished. A value proposition including several applications is necessary to create positive economic benefits for P2G (IRR>0). In P2H, the type of electricity supply in electrolysis will to a great extent determine the GHG emissions of hydrogen production. In P2M, CO 2 obtained from a biomass origin or atmosphere with efficient capture process will largely reduce the GHG emissions of the system. Both P2H and P2M could perform better than conventional technologies, but with certain restrictions on the sources of electricity and CO 2 supply. LCA results depend on allocation procedures and system boundary definitions further analysis.
Conclusions & Recommendations PV coupled battery systems Li-ion batteries (500 CHF/kWh) reduce the levelised cost by 15% in comparison with PbA systems (200 CHF/kWh). The maximum levelised value goes up to 0.36 CHF/kWh but the minimum levelised cost is equal to 0.98 CHF/kWh with the dynamic tariff in Geneva The maximum levelised value goes up to 0.30 CHF/kWh and the minimum levelised cost is equal to 0.46 CHF/kWh with the simple tariff in Geneva. A dynamic tariff increases the discharge value and this should be considered for future value propositions
Outlook Further refinement of integrated assessment methodology Global sensitivity analysis Multi-criteria decision analysis Assessment of further storage technologies: other battery technologies, compressed air storage, etc. Coupling of storage devices with heat and electricity supply Extension of system boundaries in order to identify optimal application of specific storage technologies for different purposes and at different scales (CH-perspective)
