Diversify clean energy outputs with on-site e-methane production

Renewable energy production is growing year-on-year and record rises in wind and solar power are at the heart of the energy transition. However, this much-needed increase in clean energy can only continue if adequate and cost-efficient energy storage is accessible. Indeed, many wind and solar farm operators can now only secure permits if they can confirm guaranteed offtakers.

Electrochaea’s innovative biomethanation technology and P2G solutions facilitate unlimited renewable energy storage. What’s more – converting excess renewable electricity into low-carbon e-methane gas ensures it can be easily transported across distances and seasons.

The low-carbon e-methane gas generated via our technology can be injected directly into the gas grid and used in multiple different ways. In gas or liquid form (eLNG), for example, it can be used for heating and transportation. In addition to this, e-methane can also be used to produce green electricity at power stations – effectively closing the loop and providing long-term storage for surplus renewable energy and empowering operators to scale up production.

Utilize surplus energy

Generate value from surplus energy by converting it into e-methane gas. Secure operational permits and licenses by guaranteeing energy offtake and using e-methane to store and transport excess solar and wind power.

Reduce carbon emissions

Recycle CO₂ from any source and use it to produce clean e-methane gas while lowering operational emissions. Cut carbon tax liabilities and reduce your environmental footprint by converting CO₂ into clean energy.

Maximize revenue

Increase the profitability of wind and solar farms by diversifying revenue streams and increasing total clean energy outputs. With multi-output functionality, you can eliminate waste and ensure optimal performance.

How it works

Electrochaea’s biomethanation technology integrates as part of a two-step Power-to-Gas system to convert surplus renewable electricity into e-methane gas.

First, renewable electricity and water is electrolyzed to generate green hydrogen. This green hydrogen is then fed into a bioreactor, along with CO₂ from any source. In the bioreactor, our patented methanogenic archaea synthesize e-methane from the green hydrogen and CO₂ to produce grid-quality e-methane that’s indistinguishable from natural gas. If necessary, post-processing can be incorporated to optimize the quality of the output before it’s stored, transported or injected into the grid.
