CYTOK®s Power-to-Gas Technology
energy reimagined
Learn how the CYTOK power-to-gas (ptg) technology is revolutionizing the use of renewable energy. With our advanced, emission-free conversion in Rostock, we are setting new standards for independent energy supply and climate protection. Discover how we are shaping the energy of the future with our patented method.
What exactly is power-to-gas?
Power-to-gas (ptg) describes a technology in which sustainably generated electricity is converted into gas, such as hydrogen and methane, and stored. It is a type of power-to-X (ptX) technology. This technology is used to store solar and wind energy, which is sometimes very volatile.
Our CYTOK® power-to-gas technology is:
economical
efficiency
safe
emission-free
TÜV-certified
durable and low-maintenance
redundant to existing systems

Why CYTOK® as a system supplier?
Individual solutions do not meet customer requirements
Our customers expect a sustainable and stable energy supply, around the clock, all year through. Although individual subsystems do have their own advantages, they usually do not cover the demand and often have large gaps:
-
Photovoltaic systems do not fully cover energy requirements, particularly in the cold winter months, even when combined with battery storage and heat pumps. Green grid electricity is then also required.
-
Wind power plants do not supply any energy when there is no wind or a surplus of energy when the wind is high, requiring large energy storage systems.
-
Biogas, pellet heating systems and wood release CO₂ during combustion and are therefore not completely climate-neutral.
-
Hydrogen, which is produced with energy from sustainable sources and used on site, does not generate CO₂, but the combustion process does produce harmful nitrogen oxides. The use of hydrogen in fuel cells or “hydrogen combustors” is currently still very expensive and has not been permanently tested on a large scale.
CYTOK® systems are flexible
As a system supplier, CYTOK combines the advantages of the various existing technologies:
-
the low-cost green electricity from wind and solar
-
the fast response of small battery storage systems
-
the high utilization rate of the CYTOK methanation reactor
-
emission-free combustion of the natural gas produced
-
the proven reliability of natural gas technology such as CHP units and gas boilers
-
the leverage effect of heat pumps
-
the very high storage capacity in the power-to-gas sector
