Renewable Methane

Renewable methane: Drop-in fuel from CO₂ and hydrogen.

Renewable methane (e-methane, eNG, or SNG) is produced by the CO₂-based methanation of hydrogen, based on the DWE process license. The product is chemically identical to natural gas and thus a true drop-in energy carrier: it can be integrated into existing gas infrastructures, stored, and liquefied to LNG without modifications.

DWE’s offering for this route

For e-methane, DWE supplies the process license and the entire synthesis unit as prefabricated, factory-tested modules.

Modular construction

DWE supplies the synthesis unit as a prefabricated, factory-tested module. The manufacturing of the packaged units is carried out under controlled factory conditions, while the scope of work on site is concentrated on installation, connection, and commissioning. This reduces interface risks, shortens the project duration, and enables high and reproducible execution quality.
Shifting complexity to the factory instead of the construction site.
Shorter construction and delivery times; what essentially remains on site is the installation and connection of the modules and commissioning.
Reduced EPC costs through lower interface and assembly effort.
Bundled responsibility: license, reactor, and ready-to-operate module from a single source.

Applications /
business case

Gas-grid injection, storage, liquefaction to e-LNG for heavy-duty transport and shipping.
