This lecture introduces chemical storage as a method to store excess power from renewable resources in the form of chemical fuels like synthetic natural gas and hydrogen. The process involves steps such as water electrolysis to produce hydrogen, which can then be stored or combined with carbon dioxide to create methane. The lecture also discusses the efficiency of these processes, highlighting the energy losses involved in converting and utilizing chemical fuels for power generation and mobility.
