The aims of the project

Confirm the

potential to store

green electricity

surplus

- Confirm the flexibility offered to help the power grid

(ancillary services, excess of green electricity…)

- Validate all the technologies : electrolysers, methanation

and CO2 capture

- Experiment the possibility of injecting hydrogen into the

gas grid

Build a Business

Model

- Work on technical and economical models and determine

the conditions for profitability

Launch the Power-

To-Gas sector in

France

- Help the public authorities to build favourable conditions for

the emergence of a new industrial sector in France

The best way to convince is to achieve a proof of concept.

Jupiter 1000, a techno-economic analysis project

The construction of a demonstrator is useful to validate or unvalidate the given

hypotheses.

Realized in partnership with the CEA of Grenoble, the modelling of the system for the

economic analysis bases itself on the data of the set of the project partners:

Every partner brings a relevant data to

the whole chain.

Partners :

The JUPITER 1000 project aims to build and run a Power-to-Gas demonstrator with

methanation, carbon capture and valuation of CO2. Coordinated by GRTgaz, the project

gathers partners with complementary expertises.
