Abstract: Power-to-gas technology can facilitate the transition toward a renewables-based energy system by converting excess electricity to hydrogen and then into methane via methanation. Unlike traditional chemical methanation, biological methanation uses an aqueous solution of biomass (archaea), which consumes H2 and CO2 to produce CH4. The process is limited primarily by the gas–liquid mass transfer step.
