Low-carbon methane from CO₂ and hydrogen or syngas
A scalable solution to decarbonize gas networks and industrial energy uses. KHIMOD enables the production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) through high-performance methanation processes.
What is Low-carbon methane ?
A central molecule for the energy transition
Low-carbon methane, or synthetic natural gas (SNG), is produced by combining captured CO₂ with low-carbon hydrogen through methanation processes such as the Sabatier reaction. It can also be produced from a syngas generally compounded of CO₂, CO and hydrogen which can for example be produced by biomass gaseification.
Fully compatible with existing gas infrastructure, it can be injected into networks or used directly in industrial and energy applications.
Use cases
A direct lever for decarbonizing existing systems
Low-carbon methane, or synthetic natural gas (SNG), stands out for its ability to leverage existing infrastructure without requiring major changes in end-use systems.
Maritime fuel (e-NG)
Injection into existing gas grids
Industrial processes
Energy storage (power-to-gas)
How it works
High-performance methanation processes
Low-carbon methane production relies on and the Sabatier reaction. The methanation reaction is highly exothermic and requires precise thermal control.
KHIMOD’s Heat Exchanger-Reactors ensure stable operating conditions, enabling efficient and continuous low-carbon methane production.
Performance & deployment
Reliable and flexible methanation, at any scale
KHIMOD’s technology is designed for reliable and flexible methanation, with strong conversion performance and compact reactor design adapted to industrial constraints.
It is already implemented in multiple projects, such as:
Industrial pilot
Jupiter 1000
Large-scale power-to-gas industrial pilot.
PEGASUS
Commercial methanation project.
Commercial
From pilot units to commercial deployment, these projects demonstrate KHIMOD’s ability to deliver scalable low-carbon methane solutions.
