Methanation solutions

We provide solutions for eMethane production. We help customers from all industries to turn CO2 emissions, carbonous waste materials, and hydrogen into renewable eMethane.

Our own innovative and patented biocatalytic methanation reactors boast extremely high plant efficiency of 81 % from hyrdogen to eMethane and on top of that you can utilize excess heat (55-to 70 celsius).

Solutions for syngas fermentation 

Most solid carbonous materials can be gasified to produce syngas. Gasification is an excellent way to create value from waste and side streams, which would otherwise remain underutilized. 

The syngas produced is a valuable fuel that can replace fossil fuels and decrease emissions in the energy system. While syngas can be used as a fuel in producing heat and power, Q Power can help customers create an even higher-value product by valorizing syngas into renewable methane.

Q Power provides the technologies and expertise needed to create the ideal fuel production setup as per customer need – be it syngas or renewable methane that is deemed optimal for the case.

Q Power and ST1 pilot plant

Bioethanol CO2 sidestream methanation pilot, Vantaa, Finland

In 2019, Q Power and Nordic energy company ST1 conducted a successful pilot methanating the CO2 side stream from a bioethanol production process. Findings: 

  • Methanation process is operational and efficient in an industrial environment.
  • High-concentration CO2 side streams can be utilized as such.
  • Residual concentrations of ethanol in the gas stream are not a problem.

Landfill gas methanation pilot, Salo, Finland

In 2020, Q Power, Lounais-Suomen Jätehuolto, and Lounavoima conducted a successful pilot methanation of the raw landfill gas from the Korvenmäki waste management site. Findings:

  • Even low-quality landfill gas is suitable for methanation in the Q Power process
  • The methanation process is highly resilient to feed gas impurities
  • Impurities (hydrogen sulfides and siloxanes) can be microbiologically metabolized to purify bio and landfill gas for end use
