Electrolysis is followed by the so-called methanation stage, during which hydrogen is mixed with carbon dioxide for the production of synthetic methane. The carbon dioxide required may derive from industrial processes, may be extracted from the air, or may originate from biomethane plants.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Microorganisms convert electricity to methane<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p>Methanation takes place biologically: MicrobEnergy uses highly specialised microorganisms that are capable of converting hydrogen and carbon dioxide into pure methane. The microorganisms work at a temperature of 60\u00b0C and at low pressure; the original gases do not need to be particularly pure. The synthetic methane obtained this way may either be stored locally or injected into the natural gas mains.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-7 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Connecting the electricity and gas mains<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p>This way, electricity is once more converted into a primary energy source and can then be used for the production of heat, as biofuel, or even to generate new electricity at times of low production from unsteady renewable sources. This connection between the electricity and natural gas mains is a fundamental prerequisite for the success of the energy transition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":1401,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1435","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schmack-biogas.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schmack-biogas.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schmack-biogas.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.schmack-biogas.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.schmack-biogas.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.schmack-biogas.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1435\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.schmack-biogas.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schmack-biogas.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
