the innovations brought by ENERGO and its disruptive technology allow to reduce production costs, a crucial issue for the development of synthetic methane
This pilot operation of synthetic methane injection was conducted with the support of ENGIE Lab Crigen and GrDF on the site of the catalytic methanization unit located in Sempigny (Oise) and co-managed by Olivier Thomas and Mauritz Quaak, farmers pioneers in the production of green gas.
The ENERGO demonstrator produces synthetic methane with CO2 directly captured on the biomethane production site and hydrogen produced by electrolysis. This first successful experiment has confirmed the feasibility of injecting synthetic methane into the GRDF gas distribution network.
Today, electrolysis and methanation technologies are commercially available. Nevertheless, the innovations brought by ENERGO and its disruptive technology allow to reduce production costs, a crucial issue for the development of synthetic methane, says Pierre OLIVIER, head of the hydrogen R&D program within the ENGIE Lab CRIGEN.
???? Bravo❗ Du méthane de synthèse injecté pour la 1ère fois en France dans le réseau de distribution de gaz @GRDF.
