Power-to-Gas

© ThinkIng | Michael Bokelmann

We offer...

  • Hydrogen production and methanation
  • Highly dynamic, scalable and cost-effective Power-to-Gas system with our own reactor concept for catalytic methanation
  • Development and implementation from a technical scale to the operating scale up to MW range
  • Economic evaluation and concept development for new plants
  • Simulation and modeling
