4 Seite 4 Power to Gas with biological methanation How it works PEMelectrolyser Biological methanation Gas cleaning CO 2 - source Injection gas grid o PEM- electrolyser for generation of hydrogen out of renewable electricity 2 H 2 O 2 H 2 + O 2 o Biological methanation for production of synthetic natural gas out of hydrogen and carbon dioxide by microorganism in a pressurized reactor with stirrer 4 H 2 + CO 2 CH4 + 2 H 2 O o Gas cleaning of synthetic natural gas for making sure to meet the local gas grid quality Drying and sulphur removal

5 Seite 5 Power to Gas with biological methanation Methanogenesis H 2 CO 2 Microorganisms (archaea) in watery ambience (40-70 C) CH 4 -level > 98 % High tolerance in purity of input gas Fast and flexible load cycles Low temperature & low pressure Methanation 4 H 2 + CO 2 CH H 2 O Small units decentralised use possible

6 Seite 6 Power to Gas with biological methanation Applications Power storage Biogas Upgrading Converting excess power of volatiles renewable energies to methane by electrolysis and methanation Storing of synthetic methane in the gas grid Biogas: 50% CH 4 & 50% CO 2 Upgrading of biogas by methanation with microorganisms Pure methane for biofuels or heating Reconverting of methane on demand Electrolysis & Methanation CH 4 CH4 + C0 2 Gas grid Methanation Biofuels CO 2 H 2
