agenitor (75 - 450 kW)

Hydrogen CHP - future technology ready now.

Hydrogen is considered an important storage medium for generating green electricity generated from renewable sources, e.g. wind power or solar power, and by means of a combined heat and power unit a time-shifted use. With the agenitor engines, 2G has succeeded in adapting a tried and tested, highly efficient natural gas CHP plant so that it can use pure hydrogen with comparable economy and reliability for the decentralised generation of electricity and heat.

Renewable hydrogen as a climate-neutral fuel for CHP plants

 

The expansion of renewable energies is a central pillar of the energy transition. By 2025, 40 to 45 percent of the electricity consumed in Germany should come from renewable energies. The most important renewable energy sources are sun and wind. In order to ensure a reliable power supply even in times of the "dark doldrums", it is necessary to save excess generation and make it available as needed. Power-to-gas technology uses green electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis. 2G's CHP units use this regeneratively produced hydrogen as a climate-neutral fuel in order to convert it back into electricity - and also heat or cold - in a highly efficient, economically attractive and technically robust manner.
