🇫🇮 Production of eMethane started in Harjavalta
The methanation unit in Harjavalta has started industrial production of emethane. The microbes in the bioreactors supplied by QPower have started the methanation process, producing methane for the first time in an industrial-scale plant.
The Harjavalta methanation plant is the first industrial-scale eMethane production plant in Finland. When produced on an industrial scale, eMethane will enable carbon-neutral energy processing and provide a new solution to replace fossil fuels.
eMethane, or synthetic methane, is produced by combining hydrogen and carbon dioxide produced from renewable energy. The process enables the efficient storage and transfer of renewable energy, due to its high energy density and long history of processing. eMethane can be distributed and stored using existing infrastructure and has numerous direct end-uses such as transport fuel and industrial processes.
The transformation of energy infrastructure will support the shift towards decentralised energy production, where energy sources can be used more flexibly in different regions. It will make energy systems more resilient in crisis situations and contribute to reducing exposure to market shocks.
In the coming weeks, QPower will continue to commission the methanation plant, optimise the process and increase microbial activity. Qpower has delivered the methanation plant to its customer P2X Solutions in Harjavalta.
