LIFE CO2toCH4 Living Lab at ELGO DIMITRA | Thessaloniki

On November 24, 2025, the LIFE CO2toCH4 project welcomed students from the International Hellenic University at the premises of ELGO DIMITRA in Thessaloniki, bringing biomethanation technology closer to real users and the professionals of tomorrow.

During the visit, a prototype pilot unit was presented, demonstrating how CO₂ and H₂ can be biologically converted into renewable methane (CH₄). The unit showcased the project’s vision for decentralized, modular and scalable low-carbon energy solutions.

40 students had the opportunity to explore the unit hands-on, gain insight into the microbial processes behind biomethanation, and understand its role in the energy transition towards low-emission energy systems.

By connecting research, education and real-world applications, the LIFE CO2toCH4 project contributes to accelerating innovation and driving the transition to a more sustainable energy future.
