Oman LNG Partners with Kanadevia Corporation for Methanation Pilot Plant and Concept Study
Key Ideas
  • Oman LNG collaborates with Kanadevia Corporation for a pre-FEED on a methanation pilot plant and a concept study for a future commercial-scale facility.
  • The project aligns with Oman's goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 through clean energy solutions like carbon capture and methanation.
  • The proposed facility aims to produce 18,000 normal cubic meters of e-methane per hour, with the pilot plant focusing on generating 1,200 normal cubic meters per hour.
  • The agreement stems from a memorandum of understanding signed between Oman and Japan in March 2024, emphasizing cooperation in hydrogen, fuel ammonia, and carbon recycling.
Oman LNG has entered into a partnership with Japan's Kanadevia Corporation to conduct a pre-FEED for a methanation pilot plant and a detailed concept study for a potential commercial-scale facility. This collaboration is in line with Oman's ambitious target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 by embracing clean energy solutions like carbon capture and methanation. The envisioned facility is slated to generate 18,000 normal cubic meters of e-methane per hour, whereas the pilot plant will specifically work on producing 1,200 normal cubic meters of e-methane per hour. The pilot plant's design includes a seawater desalination unit, hydrogen production equipment through water electrolysis, and a methanation system that utilizes hydrogen and captured CO2 to create e-methane. The project's pre-FEED phase will encompass comprehensive design assessments and cost estimations for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) activities. This collaboration between Oman LNG and Kanadevia Corporation was fostered by a memorandum of understanding signed between Oman and Japan in March 2024, highlighting joint efforts in hydrogen, fuel ammonia, and carbon recycling. The partnership signifies a significant step towards promoting sustainable energy practices and advancing innovative solutions in the energy sector.
