The power to gas market was valued at $30.3 million in 2021, and power-to-gas market size is estimated to reach $84.4 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.8% from 2022 to 2031. Power to gas is the process of converting surplus renewable energy into hydrogen gas through the PEM electrolysis technology. Hydrogen can be injected into the natural gas grid. Hence; hydrogen can displace natural gas, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on high carbon fuels. Hydrogen manufactured from renewable energy is called green hydrogen, which can be used to store, transport, and utilize renewable energy. This technology helps to minimize variable renewable energy curtailment from sources, such as wind and solar, providing long-term storage and grid balancing services through electrolyzer.
Surge in demand for renewable hydrogen, which has the potential to decarbonize multiple sectors is expected to drive the global power-to-gas market growth. Also, increase in utilization of hydrogen in green energy vehicles, such as hydrogen cars has supplemented the growth even more. Moreover, rise in demand for efficient energy storage technology and growing utilization of hydrogen in various industrial applications provide ample opportunities for the key players in the industry.

The green hydrogen produced by electrolyzer can also be directly used as a fuel, either for transport, replacing oil in light vehicles, railways, and marine applications, or as a feedstock for industrial applications. Green hydrogen fuel cells can also be used for energy storage. Due to the falling costs of renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind, energy storage technologies such as power-to-gas (PtG) technology are becoming increasingly attractive, and the installed capacity of commercial electrolyzer systems has been growing steadily over the past few years. There are only a few commercially viable water electrolysis technologies, and the two most widely used technologies are alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis.
In 2020, according to the European Commission, the refinery sector accounted for 48% of the hydrogen consumption, followed by fertilizers and chemical sectors. Germany is one of the major countries in the Europe power-to-gas market. As of 2020, Germany was home to around 40 small power-to-gas pilot projects that harnessed surplus green power, mainly from wind and solar projects, to carry out electrolysis by splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen to produce zero-carbon fuel. Furthermore, in July 2020, the European Union unveiled its Hydrogen Strategy that aims to increase its electrolyzed capacity by 6 GW by 2024 and 40 GW by 2030. Furthermore, the strategy targets to increase the production of renewable hydrogen from 1 million ton to 10 million ton per year by 2030. The presence of above-mentioned initiatives and applications is expected to provide ample power to gas market growth opportunities for the development of the market.

Covid-19 scenario-
- Industrial, transportation, and chemical production industries were severely affected by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, which had a direct negative impact on the global power-to-gas market.
- The concurrent expansion plans of electrolysis and methanation were also delayed by minimum of one year, which aggravated the market condition even more.
- However, governments of various countries were seen to take significant initiatives to increase the investment in renewable energy-related industries such as solar and wind power systems. This spike in investment was mainly to perk up the national energy security throughout the global health crisis. These factors impacted the market positively.
