What is the Significance of Catalysis in Wind Energy Storage?
Wind energy, being intermittent, poses challenges for continuous energy supply. Catalysis can facilitate the storage of wind energy in chemical bonds through processes like power-to-gas. In this process, electricity generated from wind is used to produce hydrogen via water electrolysis, and further, hydrogen can be converted to methane using CO2 in a catalytic reaction. This methane can be stored and used as a fuel when wind energy is not available.
