 Development of basic technologies for next-generation thermal power generation 

  • Project Description

    This test facility is used to develop a methanation technology as a carbon recycling technology. Methane will be produced through synthesis of the CO2 generated at the Koshijihara Plant during the natural gas production process, together with hydrogen produced through electrolysis of water. Later, technical issues will be evaluated, including how to optimize the methane synthesis process, through a series of tests and continuous operation.
