Last Power2Gas Conference, taking place on 17-18 October 2018 in Copenhagen, brought together major stakeholders from the industry to explore the latest developments related to this technology. Copenhagen is a frontrunner in renewable energy and aims to become 100% carbon neutral by 2025, which made it a perfect location for our conference.

On 16th October our participants had a chance to visit the the world’s biggest biomethanation plant: The 1 MWe BioCat plant located at the Biogas Park Avedore, near Copenhagen
The plant is maintained and operated by Electrochaea. It was built during the BioCat Project (www.biocat-project.com) and has been running successfully since April 2016.
Electrochaea has developed a commercially viable and disruptive solution for utility-scale energy storage, grid balancing, and carbon reuse. The company’s proprietary process converts low-cost and stranded electricity and carbon dioxide into pipeline-grade renewable gas for direct injection into the existing natural gas grid, a conversion process known as “power-to-gas”. The core of Electrochaea’s power-to-gas system is a selectively evolved microorganism — a methanogenic archaea — that excels through unprecedented catalytic ability and industrial robustness. The technical advantages of this biocatalyst enable the company’s patented BioCat methanation technology to operate at lower capital and operating costs and with greater flexibility than conventional thermochemical methanation processes.
