Electrochaea GmbH
Entry last updated on March 13, 2023

Electrochaea has developed a novel power-to-gas technology for grid-level energy storage. This process converts surplus and inexpensive electricity from renewable energy sources into natural gas, which can be fed directly into the existing natural gas grid.

The core of Electrochaea's power-to-gas technology is based on a selected microorganism, so-called methanogenic archaea, which are characterized by exceptional catalytic performance and robustness in industrial applications. Electrochaea's power-to-gas technology offers an economical solution for large-scale energy storage, load balancing in the power grid, and CO2 recycling.
