Scaling Green Methanation with Modular Autothermal Technology
An autothermal reactor to convert biogas into renewable methane with high efficiency and low cost
Challenge
The team had a highly promising methanation technology but needed to demonstrate its economic feasibility, define an industrial scale-up plan, and accurately estimate the investment required to reach the market. The consultancy’s challenge was to structure a solid financial plan capable of quantifying the business potential, assessing profitability, and establishing the economic foundations needed to attract investors and industrial partners.
Solution
The consultancy conducted an in-depth analysis of the autothermal reactor’s technical evolution, its scale-up across demo phases, and the associated costs. Based on this, it defined a phased development plan, estimated capital needs, projected manufacturing and operating costs, and established a robust business model for the future spin-off, aligned with real production capacity and renewable methane demand.
Result
The consultancy provided an integrated view of the project’s technical and financial development, defining a clear roadmap to reach TRL 9 and consolidate industrial deployment. As a result, the team now has a strategic framework connecting scale-up, costs, and market opportunities, facilitating decision-making and the attraction of partners and investment.
“We built the technical and financial roadmap to scale a green methanation technology, linking economic feasibility, industrial scale-up and investor readiness.”
