California Hydrogen Business Council says a robust P2G RD&D program should be a priority for the state

Green Car Congress

P2G systems use electrolysis powered by renewable energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen—i.e., P2G converts electrical energy to chemical energy in the form of hydrogen. Power-to-Gas concept. Currently, P2G is being deployed in Europe and Canada but is only at the early demonstration phase in California.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Furthermore, even the older version PHEV can recharge at a slow rate using local solar, wind, water-derived or other net zero CO 2 fuel. Then as solar, wind, water and other non-fossil fuel industries ramp up, the fossil material industry can shift to different but more lucrative customers. Distributed Solar and Wind with the PHEV.
