The growing emphasis on environmental conservation and sustainability will drive the growth of the global industrial methanation technology market.

Market Introduction:

Industrial methanation technology is a process whereby a number of raw materials such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen are converted to other products such as methane and water through a chemical reaction. Chemically it is represented as follows: CO₂ + 4H₂ → CH₄ + 2H₂O. This allows the storage of energy in the form of methane which is much easier to store and transport as compared to hydrogen. This stored energy can be used as and when required ensuring energy security and uninterrupted energy supply. Furthermore, it is involved in carbon capture which contributes towards reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. This significantly reduces the carbon emissions in the atmosphere, thereby contributing towards environmental conservation and positive climate change.

Type Segment Analysis

The type segment is divided into adiabatic methanation and isothermal methanation. The adiabatic methanation segment dominated the market, with a market share of around 63% in 2023. The industrial process of methanation referred to as adiabatic methanation does not involve exchange of heat with the surroundings during the reaction which converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) and hydrogen (H₂) into methane (CH₄) and water (H₂O). In this process the heat produced in exothermic reactions is trapped inside the reactor and hence results in an incremental rise in temperature as the reaction continues. adiabatic methanation is economical and less complex. Furthermore, the heat generated by the reaction is utilized effectively in increasing rate of the reaction and Optimization of the process. the adiabatic methanation results in procedural stability. This method not only removes the need of using additional heat or cool from the environment but also makes the costs of running this method cheaper especially for large scale production. In conclusion, the adiabatic methanation offers simplicity of design, is low cost, with greater heat efficiency and stable operation conditions making it the dominant process in the market.

Application Segment Analysis

The application segment is divided into environmental and industrial. The environmental segment dominated the market, with a market share of around 55% in 2023. The industrial methanation technology has emerged to be critically important in environmental uses, more specifically for the purpose of minimizing the emission of greenhouse gases and improving energy efficiency. This process turns carbon dioxide (CO₂) into methane (CH₄) hence reducing the effects of climate change since it captures CO₂ a major causative factor to climate change and turns into usable energy. Furthermore, methanation makes contribution to technology that stores excess electrical energy generated from renewable energy sources. It also synthesises green methane from renewable hydrogen and captured CO₂, and therefore provides an environment friendly option to the fossil fuels while reducing emissions.

  • A demonstration experiment of a CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) process was initiated by the City of Yokohama and Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Gas), in collaboration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and MHI Group company MHI Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. (MHIEC). The process involves separating and capturing CO2 from the gas of a municipal waste-to-energy plant, and then transporting it to a local methanation demonstration facility run by Tokyo Gas to be used as the first of its kind in Japan, this CCU demonstration project based on regional cooperation is being carried out in Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama, and it aims to expand and improve CCU technology while also practically introducing e-methane.
