abstract = {The concept of an integrated power-to-gas (P2G) process was
demonstrated for renewable energy storage by converting
renewable electrical energy to synthetic fuels. Such a
dynamically integrated process enables direct production of
synthetic natural gas (SNG) from CO2 and H2O. The produced
SNG can be stored or directly injected into the existing
natural gas network. To study process integration, operating
parameters of the high-temperature solid oxide electrolysis
cell (SOEC) producing syngas (H2+CO) mixtures through
co-electrolysis and a fixed bed reactor for syngas
methanation of such gas mixtures were first optimized
individually. Reactor design, operating conditions, and
enhanced SNG selectivity were the main targets of the study.
SOEC experiments were performed on state-of-the-art button
cells. Varying operating conditions (temperature, flow rate,
gas mixture and current density) emphasized the capability
of the system to produce tailor-made syngas mixtures for
downstream methanation. Catalytic syngas methanation was
performed using hydrotalcite-derived
$20 \%Ni-2 \%Fe/(Mg,Al)Ox$ catalyst and commercial
methanation catalyst (Ni/Al2O3) as reference. Despite water
in the feed mixture, SNG with high selectivity
$(≥90 \%)$ was produced at 300 °C and atmospheric
pressure. An adequate rate of syngas conversion was obtained
with H2O contents up to $30 \%,$ decreasing significantly
for $50 \%$ H2O in the feed. Compared to the commercial
catalyst, $20 \%Ni-2 \%Fe/(Mg,Al)Ox$ enabled a higher
rate of COx conversion.},
