“Project Volt Gas Volt” proposes long-term financing plan to support widespread implementation of power-to-gas systems

Green Car Congress

Project Volt Gas Volt is based on a long-term financing plan and the use of existing technologies for the large-scale conversion of surplus renewable electricity to methane, with subsequent reuse. If this potential production supplied the Volt Gas Volt plants, the nuclear plants could operate at nearly 100% capacity.

But the extra emissions released as a result can cause 50% higher costs to human health and the environment.). They then modeled the emissions from those power plants, the effects of emissions on air pollution in downwind counties, and the resulting implications for human health and the environment.
