On February 21, 2025, at Verde.tec 2025 in M.E.C. Paiania, the LIFE CO2toCH4 project was showcased as a groundbreaking solution for CO2 capture, utilization (CCU), and renewable energy storage. Experts and industry leaders gathered to explore this innovative, integrated industrial process, which aims to transform CO2 emissions into a valuable non-fossil biofuel—methane.

The project’s key highlight is the development of a smart mobile unit (TRL8) capable of hybrid energy storage, designed for remote areas and islands that are not connected to the central energy grid. The technology leverages renewable energy sources (RES) for water electrolysis, producing hydrogen (H2), which is then biologically converted into methane using CO2 from exhaust gases.

By combining CO2 reduction with renewable energy storage, LIFE CO2toCH4 presents a game-changing solution for decarbonization and sustainable energy transition. The discussions at Verde.tec reinforced the urgent need for scalable, innovative energy solutions that contribute to climate neutrality and a greener future.

Stay tuned as LIFE CO2toCH4 continues to drive the future of renewable energy and CO2 utilization!.
