Excerpt
As part of the mobility demonstrator "Move," researchers at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research Empa are investigating the production of synthetic methane from an energy, technical and economic perspective. A process developed at Empa is being used for this purpose: sorption-enhanced methanation. In contrast to the usual process, this runs in a single stage and does not require hydrogen separation in the product gas. The reaction water is adsorbed on a porous catalyst support during the process. This shifts the reaction equilibrium toward an almost 100 % methane yield. This simplifies process control and increases efficiency. The gaseous product can also be fed directly into the gas network without additional purification.
