Ultra-long-duration energy storage anywhere: Methanol with carbon cycling
Tom Brown, Johannes Hampp
Abstract
Tom Brown leads a group of energy system modelers at the Technische Universität Berlin, where he holds the professorship for digital transformation in energy systems. His group researches future pathways for the energy system, with a particular focus on revealing the trade-offs between energy resources, network expansion, flexibility, and public acceptance of new infrastructure. He is a strong supporter of openness and transparency in research and is one of the lead developers of the widely used open-source software Python for Power System Analysis (PyPSA). Johannes Hampp is a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and is finishing a doctorate at the University of Gieβen in energy system modeling. His research focuses on the production of hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives and on the effects of regional differences in renewable endowments around the world on energy and feedstock supply chains.
