Development of a Novel, Highly Efficient Energy System for Natural Gas Metering and Regulating Stations Based on Waste Heat Recovery and Synthetic Methane Production

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

This project aims at increasing the efficiency of natural gas (NG) metering and regulating stations in which the gas is expanded from 50-80 to 5 bar. Instead of burning NG to warm up the gas, synthetic methane will be produced and waste heat will be recovered from the reactor and the electrolyser.
