The invention relates to a method for storing electric energy, which comprises the steps a) production of methane from water and soot using electric energy, b) storage of the methane, c) dissociation of the methane into hydrogen and soot, with the hydrogen being used for energy generation, or energy generation by conversion of the methane into soot and water in a cyclic bromination-oxidation process, wherein the soot formed in the dissociation of methane or in the cyclic bromination-oxidation process in step c) is collected and, in a renewed pass through the method, is used for methane production in step a), so that a closed carbon circuit is formed, and also a system comprising a power-methane conversion plant in which electric power is converted together with soot and water into methane and also a methane-power conversion plant in which methane is converted into hydrogen with elimination of soot. |
