The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to design, install and test a pilot-scale power to gas energy conversion system at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) Energy Systems Integration Facility’s (ESIF) Outdoor Test Area (OTA). The skid-mounted bioreactor and associated systems would demonstrate the technology that can convert power into a fuel that can be stored and converted back to power based on grid demand.
