Ren-Gas selects MAN Energy Solutions’ methanation technology for its Tampere eMethane plant
Ren-Gas, a green H2 and eMethane project developer in Finland, has announced the selection of MAN Energy Solution as one of the key technology providers for the Tampere Power-to-Gas project. MAN’s catalytic methanation technology will be used to convert green hydrogen (H2) and captured biogenic CO2 into renewable eMethane.
MAN Energy Solutions will oversee the design, manufacturing, pre-fabrication, testing, delivery, installation supervision, commissioning, and performance testing of the equipment. This extensive scope guarantees that the project leverages MAN’s advanced technology and expertise at every phase, from initial design to final performance validation.
Mikko Piekkala, Commercial Manager, Ren-Gas, said, “We are very excited to work with MAN Energy Solutions on our Tampere project. With their methanation technology we are able to reach very good methane production efficiency, and to expand our sector integration opportunities even further. Once again, it is great to work with a leading European partner like MAN Energy Solutions, and to advance the European H2 sector together.”
Christian Obermeier, Sales Manager at MAN Energy Solutions Deggendorf, said, “I’m proud that Ren-Gas will rely on our proven methanation technology for this impressive Power-to-Gas project. MAN Energy Solutions is a Power-to-Gas pioneer commissioning its first methanation reactor already in 2013. Since then, we have collected comprehensive and valuable operational experiences, which will be incorporated into the design of this new reactor making it highly efficient and resulting in a high methane quality. Our innovative engineering know-how paired with a decade-long experience in methanation makes us unique in the Power-to-Gas field.”
Ren-Gas’s facility in Tampere is set to produce renewable eMethane for heavy road and maritime transport sectors. In the eMethane production MAN’s methanation reactor will use, approximately 40,000 tpy of CO2 captured from the Tarastenjärvi waste incineration plant’s flue gases, along with green H2 produced with electrolyzers. The plant will yield approximately 200 GWh of renewable fuel for heavy road and maritime transport annually, as well as 180 GWh of CO2-free district heating for Tampere’s district heating system.
