Electrochaea achieves engineering design milestone for biocatalyst methanation system with CSS

In Germany, Electrochaea announced an important milestone in its collaboration with global energy technology company Baker Hughes. The two companies have in fact finalized the basic engineering design package (BEDP) of Electrochaea’s proprietary biocatalyst methanation system integrated with Baker Hughes´s carbon capture solutions.

This BEDP lays the foundations for large industrial-scale biomethanation applications and meets the growing demand for commercial-scale eMethane production. Plants based on the BEDP are designed to generate 3750 Nm3/h of renewable methane from 3750 Nm3/h CO2 combined with renewable hydrogen from a 75MWe capacity electrolyzer and can be scaled further to hundreds of megawatts to maximize clean energy output.

With multiple feasibility studies already underway for prospective clients worldwide, the successful completion of the BEDP paves the way for full-scale, commercial eMethane plants in the near future.
