Clariant Supplies SNG Catalyst for First Commercial CO2 Methanation Plant “Power-to-Gas”
Muttenz, October 21, 2013 – Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, today announced that it has supplied a proprietary developed CO2-SNG catalyst for the methanation unit of Audi’s new power-to-gas facility in Werlte, Germany. The so-called “e-gas plant” was started up in June this year and is part of Audi's comprehensive sustainability initiative. It will produce an average of 1.4 million cubic meters of renewable synthetic methane per year, chemically binding some 2,800 metric tons of CO2 and equivalent to supply 1.500 new Audi A3 Sportback g-tron vehicles with an annual mileage of 15,000 CO2 neutral kilometers. The plant was developed, constructed and built by Stuttgart-based plant manufacturer ETOGAS GmbH (formerly SolarFuel). The technology can be also used to store surplus energy in the gas pipeline system and to balance energy supply against demand.
Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products, the global leader of machinable plastics, has achieved NORSOK M-710 compliance for its Ketron® 1000 PEEK (natural) injection molded and extruded stock shapes. The engineering plastics manufacturer is the first in its industry to receive the certification under the most severe sour multiphase fluid ageing test environment with the highest H₂S levels.
