Construction on the methanation plant began in July 2017. While the current facility feeds pure hydrogen (“WindGas”) directly into the gas grid, the new methanation plant provides for the generation of “green” methane. This stored energy is then available as backup whenever there is an insufficient supply of solar and wind power.
