Lunch talk series IV: Design of sites for synthetic methane production with direct air capture

Synthetic methane production is a suitable approach to address the variability of renewable energy sources. It offers both short and long-term storage capabilities, utilises carbon dioxide as a resource and relies on existing and well-established energy infrastructures. However, the design of cost-effective synthetic methane production sites remains a challenge. Gabriele Humbert from Empa will discuss the optimal configuration of such sites with integrated direct air capture (DAC) technologies and highlight the key cost factors to be reduced.
