Power-to-Gas: The Legal Framework for a Long-Term Energy Storage Technology in Germany

Germany’s ambitious renewable energy strategy has uncovered some deficiencies in the current energy system. As the development of solar energy and wind farms continues, an expansion and reinforcement of the grid is needed to reach remote production sites and absorb the highly intermittent renewable energy inputs these produce. The strain on the grid can, to a certain extent, be relieved through storage of renewable energy during peak-production hours. Storage technologies may support the integration of intermittent renewable energy into the energy systems. In this light, this article investigates the technology, functions and the legal framework of ‘power-to-gas’, a novel storage concept with ample application potential and flexibility.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
