Product
Problem
Biogas plants produce large amounts of biogenic CO₂ as a byproduct, which is often treated as waste or sent to storage rather than being utilized. This represents a lost opportunity to increase renewable gas production and create additional revenue, especially as EU regulations drive growing demand for e-fuels across transport, shipping, and aviation sectors.
Solution
Pura Futura offers PuraVolta®, a plug-and-play e-methanation solution that integrates directly with existing biogas plants to convert CO₂ and renewable electricity into high-value e-methane. The system combines an electrolyzer, bioreactor, and intelligent control system in a standardized, modular design that minimizes installation complexity and project risk. Hydrogen produced via electrolysis is combined with CO₂ in a biological methanation process, enabling additional methane to be fed directly into the existing gas grid. The solution can increase green gas output by up to 50%, with power consumption optimized to produce e-methane when electricity prices are lowest, maximizing profitability.
Target Audience
Primary customers are biogas plant operators seeking to increase gas output and create new revenue streams, as well as transport and industry sectors requiring certified green fuels to meet EU regulatory mandates.
