Brief description Small-Scale CO2 Methanation Process for Decarbonising Australian Gas Supply. This project will use biomass-derived gas mixtures to produce pipeline-grade methane, accelerating the decarbonisation of gas networks. It focuses on improving the Sabatier process, which converts carbon dioxide into synthetic natural gas - a key method for recycling carbon dioxide, storing renewable energy, and transporting hydrogen. Traditional Sabatier reactors struggle with heat management, demanding costly equipment and large space. To address this, the project will develop ultra-compact reactors using 3D printing and process modelling. This innovation will enhance energy efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and position Australia at the forefront of carbon capture and utilisation technologies.
