DAC-to-Methane

CO₂ from the air plus green hydrogen becomes synthetic methane — chemically identical to natural gas, ready for existing pipelines, power plants and CNG fleets.

Methane
The Challenge

Green Gas for the Existing Gas World

Trillions are invested in natural gas infrastructure — pipelines, power plants, industrial burners — that will run for decades. Synthetic methane lets that infrastructure go green without rebuilding it.

The Process

Air + Water + Renewable Power → Methane

The Sabatier reaction — known for over a century — scaled up with direct air capture and renewable hydrogen.

1
Direct Air Capture

Modular collectors extract CO₂ from ambient air at any location with renewable power access.

2
Green Hydrogen

Water electrolysis driven by solar, wind or hydro produces carbon-free hydrogen.

3
Methanation

CO₂ and hydrogen react over a catalyst (Sabatier process) to form synthetic methane — pipeline-ready after drying.

Key Benefits

Why DAC-to-Methane

  • Drop-in molecule — identical to natural gas; no changes to pipelines, turbines or burners
  • Seasonal storage — convert surplus renewable power into storable gas for months
  • Carbon recycling — each molecule reuses atmospheric CO₂ instead of new fossil carbon
  • Grid balancing — flexible load that absorbs excess renewable generation
  • CNG-ready — compress for transport fleets or liquefy for shipping

Applications

Where It Goes

Synthetic methane slots directly into the gas value chain — from city grids to heavy transport.

  • Gas grid injection — green the existing distribution network
  • Power generation — dispatchable, low-carbon fuel for gas turbines
  • CNG / LNG transport — for trucks, buses and marine fuel
