The new power-to-gas demonstrator installed at the Energypolis campus in Sion will enable engineers to test promising approaches for advancing the energy transition, such as carbon capture and seasonal power storage in the form of gas. The system was developed through a joint initiative involving EPFL, the HES-SO Valais-Wallis School of Engineering and several local businesses.
