Empa's move-MEGA plant focuses on synthesizing methane from renewable hydrogen and CO₂ to enhance load flexibility for utilizing fluctuating renewable electricity sources. The plant incorporates sorption-enhanced methanation with zeolite pellets, allowing for efficient methane production at lower pressures and temperatures. The process involves a sophisticated thermal management system with alternating reactors for continuous operation. The integration of a Direct-Air-Capture (DAC) unit enables sourcing CO₂ from ambient air, facilitating negative CO₂ emissions and the production of solid carbon and hydrogen through methane pyrolysis. This unique approach offers a pathway to combining renewable energy supply with permanent CO₂ removal, contributing to sustainable energy production and climate protection. Supported by various partners, the move-MEGA project signifies a step towards achieving a more sustainable energy transition.
