A milestone for proving the efficiency of our methanation process was the demonstration plant in Falkenhagen, Germany. In the STORE&GO project, 47 m3/h of SNG were generated using renewable sources and injected into the gas grid (ONTRAS). Based on this great success and our operational experience, thyssenkrupp has developed a process & layout concept for a 20 MW unit that produces 1000 m3/h. The end product is H-gas (high calorific gas) quality. Our state-of-the-art design is synonymous with:
STORE&GO Demonstration Unit
Renewable hydrogen: 210 m³/h (from existing PtG plant)
Biogenic CO2: 52.5 m³/h (external supply)
SNG production: 57 m³/h (catalytic)
Injection of SNG into natural gas grid (ONTRAS)
Start of operation: Q2 2018, end of operation: Q1 2020
