Andreas Aeschimann and Luca Schmidlin from AlphaSYNT and Tilman Schildhauer from PSI ( from left to right ) in front of the GanyMeth pilot plant at PSI. In future AlphaSYNT plans to develop this type of plant to convert renewable energy sources such as sewage slurry into biogas and then store the energy in the form of methane gas. The Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the start-up AlphaSYNT have a common mission. By signing a cooperation and licensing agreement, they aim to commercialise a novel approach to "power-to-gas" conversion, or to be more specific: "power-to-methane". The innovative methanation process developed by PSI will allow energy to be stored as methane gas in future. For almost 10 years, the Bioenergy and Catalysis Laboratory at PSI has been researching processes for converting biogas obtained from dry biomass - mostly agricultural and forestry waste - cleanly and efficiently into liquid or gaseous fuels. Biomethane, for example, must have sufficiently high purity to be used effectively in the natural gas grid, so must contain at least 96 percent methane.
