The latest project focuses on the production of synthetic methane from hydrogen and CO 2. Methanization works by producing methane (CH 4 ) and water (H 2 O) by catalytic conversion from carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and hydrogen (H 2 ). Both hydrogen production and methanization continuously generate waste heat. Schröter K.,
