Cetna Energy has partnered with MAN Energy Solutions to launch a groundbreaking project in Brent, Alabama, focusing on the conversion of wood mill residues into renewable natural gas (RNG). Through gasification and methanation technology, the plant aims to produce approximately 1 billion cubic feet of RNG annually, aiding in the reduction of emissions and promoting a sustainable energy transition. The syngas derived from gasified wood waste undergoes a process that converts it into climate-neutral synthetic methane by combining carbon dioxide and hydrogen obtained from woody biomass. MAN Energy Solutions' DWE® SNG methanation system plays a crucial role in synthesizing these gases into high-quality RNG efficiently and compactly. The project emphasizes sustainable production practices by sourcing all feedstock locally from wood processing residues, thereby supporting the state's forestry economy and emission-reduction objectives. Furthermore, the initiative illustrates the increasing significance of RNG in decarbonizing the natural gas supply chain, aligning with governmental efforts to promote carbon-neutral fuel sources. MAN Energy Solutions' methanation technology is lauded for its applicability in biomass gasification applications, showcasing its effectiveness and economic viability in sustainable gas production.
