Increasing the potential of biomethane thanks to methanation technologies
The production of e-methane, or synthetic methane, refers to a set of technologies that allow the conversion of electricity into methane molecules, using carbon dioxide and hydrogen. What characterises this process is the strong connection and complementarity between the electricity and gas networks: in fact, excess renewable electricity, for example from solar energy during the summer, can be converted into renewable gas and stored in the gas network in the form of e-methane. The methanation process significantly increases the potential of biomethane in Europe and could increase the production of existing plants by 40-60% without changing the amount of raw material used. How? Let’s find out with EBA, the European Biogas Association.
