SoCalGas’ biomethanation reactor system will be used to help produce renewable energy as part of a power-to-gas demonstration. This system will be installed at an anaerobic digester facility in Clinton, Maine in early 2023. The power-to-gas process converts renewable electricity into hydrogen. The biomethanation reactor converts the hydrogen and biogenic carbon dioxide into methane that can be used onsite or injected into the natural gas grid. “Expanding our collaboration with SoCalGas and NREL to include Summit Utilities provides the opportunity to use our biomethanation technology at a dairy biogas project. When biogas is fed into the biomethanation reactor, CO2 release is avoided and the amount of renewable methane produced from dairy waste is nearly doubled.” More >>
