abstract = {A successful implementation of Germany’s energy
transition to renewable energy supply requires a strong
interlinking between different sectors such as energy supply
and mobility which is labeled as sector coupling.
Power-to-methane is one option for sector coupling in a
future energy system. Here, a techno-economic analysis is
presented that investigated different pathways with eight
different scenarios. The first four use renewable hydrogen
via electrolysis from wind combined with different CO2
sources, i.e., from biogas production, tail gas from power
plants, provided by a supplier and from direct air capture.
The remaining four scenarios based on conventional hydrogen
and carbon dioxide sources are considered for the sake of
comprehensive coverage. For all scenarios, a process
analysis provides important insights. The economic analysis
shows methane costs in the range of €3.51-€3.88 per kg
for all optimized process schemes on the power to gas route.
Therefore, no economic benefit can be achieved for a gas
provider using power-to-methane in his gas grid.
Nevertheless, with regard to the GHG reduction target of
$80–95\%$ through 2050, green solutions are of special
interest. The results of the ecological analysis show a
highly promising pathway that makes use of liquid manure.
The avoidance of fertilizing soil by dispensing large
amounts of liquid manure achieves improvements in
acidification and eutrophication of soil and ground water. A
switch from fossil diesel to fossil natural gas only yields
a reduction of between $7\%–22\%.$ Good results were
already achieved by applying municipal waste or dry manure
offering an $87\%$ GHG reduction. Liquid manure offers a
credit of -78.1 g CO2,eq/MJf CH4 instead of GHG emissions
on the order of 70.4 g CO2,eq/MJf CH4 using fossil CNG on
a well-to-wheel basis.},
