Renewable E-Methane Production Advancement in Tampere, Finland
Key Ideas
  • MAN Energy Solutions to deliver a 50 MW methanation reactor for the Ren-Gas Tampere e-methane plant in Finland, aiming to convert green hydrogen and captured biogenic CO2 into renewable e-methane.
  • The project involves comprehensive collaboration with MAN Energy Solutions for the design, manufacturing, installation supervision, and performance testing of the equipment to ensure advanced technology utilization.
  • Ren-Gas's facility in Tampere will utilize approximately 40,000 tons of captured carbon dioxide annually, along with green hydrogen, to produce renewable e-methane for heavy road and maritime transport sectors, as well as carbon dioxide-free district heating.
  • The Tampere facility is part of Ren-Gas's industry benchmark project portfolio, receiving significant public support from the Finnish Government and the EU, with construction set to start in 2025 and commercial operation in 2027.
MAN Energy Solutions, based in Augsburg, Germany, is set to deliver a 50 MW methanation reactor for the Ren-Gas Tampere e-methane plant in Tampere, Finland. This initiative by Ren-Gas, a prominent green hydrogen and e-methane project developer in Finland, aims to convert green hydrogen and captured biogenic CO2 into renewable e-methane. The collaboration with MAN Energy Solutions involves an extensive scope covering all aspects from design to performance validation, ensuring the utilization of advanced technology. Ren-Gas's facility in Tampere is poised to produce renewable e-methane for heavy road and maritime transport sectors by utilizing approximately 40,000 tons of captured carbon dioxide annually alongside green hydrogen. This process will result in the production of about 200 GWh of renewable fuel for transport and 180 GWh of carbon dioxide-free district heating for Tampere's district heating system. Ren-Gas has received substantial public support for its projects, including the Tampere facility, from both the Finnish Government and the EU. The construction of the Tampere facility is scheduled to commence in 2025, with commercial operation expected to begin in 2027. This project signifies a significant advancement in the renewable energy sector, contributing to sustainability and innovation in the European hydrogen industry.
