Electrochaea is developing a disruptive energy storage technology known as power-to-gas for the conversion of low-cost and stranded electricity into pipeline-grade renewable gas (biomethane) for direct injection into the existing natural gas grid. Our process is based on a selectively evolved microorganism that excels through high efficiency, robustness, selectivity, volumetric productivity, and scalability. Electrochaea's technology represents a commercially viable solution for utility-scale energy storage, carbon dioxide recycling, and grid balancing. The feasibility of our process has been demonstrated in laboratory and field trials, and we are currently pursuing a sequence of pilot projects for additional de-risking and incremental scale-up.
