Electrochaea GmbH delivers innovative, patented technology to produce high-quality, carbon-neutral methane that, like natural gas, can be stored and used on demand through the existing grid. Electrochaea developed the patented BioCat methanation process. Using this process, renewable methane is synthesized from CO2 and H2 by the patented biocatalyst. This technology, together with low-cost, stranded electricity and carbon dioxide, makes it possible to produce pipeline-grade renewable gas for direct injection into the existing natural gas grid, a conversion process known as “power-to-gas”.
