Project Details
Description
Researchers have developed a process to biologically convert renewable hydrogen and industrial carbon dioxide (or carbon monoxide) into synthetic methane.
This innovative process offers several significant benefits:
Environmental Impact: Recycling CO2 to products and fuels to reduce reliance on fossil carbon.
Energy Flexibility: Linking power and gas grids to increase renewable deployment and allow long term energy storage.
Economic Opportunities: Development of a carbon recycling industry and enabling new energy services to be delivered.
The funding will enable the research team to collaborate with University spin-out Aeriogen Ltd to produce an innovation plan that defines how the process can be demonstrated at a pre-commercial scale at facilities like manufacturing plants, refineries or waste treatment facilities.
