Distribution of Green Gas Potentials by 2050 by Department

This dataset presents the distribution by department of green gas potential by type of resource and by sector in France by 2050.
The assumptions and context of the study are presented in the study “A 100 % renewable gas mix in 2050?” published in February 2018 by ADEME, GRDF and GRTgaz.

The following primary resources shall be considered: * methane production potential with CIMSE (Environmental Multiservice Intermediate Cultures), crop residues, livestock waste, herbs, food industry residues (IAA), biowaste and algae, in GWh PCS;
* potential wood energy – in GWh PCI;

• the recovery energy potential:
  solid Recovery Fuels (CSR) and Fatal Hydrogen (H2) – GWh PCI;

• the power generation potential by Power-to-Gas, in GWh elects.

In the study (see page 92), the injectable gas potential is obtained by applying the following conversion yields to primary resources:

• 94 % injected methane/methane produced,

• 70 % for gasification (wood energy potential and CSR potential),

• 66 % for power-to-gas.
