 Project objective

Renewable energy sources attract a mass interest to reduce carbon emissions and create a sustainable energy system for the future but storing the intermittent energy is one of their challenges. Methanation processes (converting CO2 into methane) are key enabling technologies because the output of the operation can be stored and transported through the natural gas transport infrastructure already in place and further reduce the “greenhouse” effect responsible for climate change through a circular economy approach.

CoMeth, offers the disruptive technology that scales up the process of methanation for any CO2/CO source through a cutting-edge fluidized bed reactor containing nickel as catalyst, providing current providers of CH4 to the grid (Waste Water Treatment Plants and fermentation plants) considerable growth of production yield up to 60% from the same amount of biomass substrate, while avoiding the CO2 removal cost. In addition, these companies will increase their eco-profile as tool to raise both political support and societal acceptance.

For the previous, TKE aims to revolutionize the renewable energy market by introducing CoMeth, the first commercial methanation technology for any source of CO2 gas which allows the conversion of surplus power into a grid compatible gas without complex gas conditioning, the automation of the process in larger scale and fitting all applications
