Renewable gas from hydrogen and CO₂ - New sorption-enhanced methanation plant at Empa
Dübendorf, 17.06.2025 — On June 16, Empa inaugurated its novel methanation plant. The move-MEGA research project is the first to demonstrate so-called sorption-enhanced methanation at pilot scale – a technology developed at Empa that makes the power-to-gas process more flexible and robust. The produced synthetic methane can serve as a renewable energy carrier, replacing fossil natural gas. In combination with methane pyrolysis, it is also possible to produce CO₂-negative hydrogen from it.
