MéthyCentre associates a methanisation unit which is fed with local agricultural waste and a demonstration Power-to-Gas unit. The PEM electrolyser of 250kW will be fed by local wind and photovoltaic power production. The CO2 from the biogas will be recovered and converted into methane. The facility shall be commissioned by 2021 and produce three renewable or green gases: biomethane (from methanisation), hydrogen (from PEM electrolyser) and synthetic methane (after the methanation unit). Thus, the renewable energy surplus will be made available according to the needs of the consumers in the Centre-Val de Loire region.
