About MethVolt

MethVolt is a pioneering startup committed to revolutionizing energy storage. We leverage the well-established **Sabatier reaction** to transform two key components of a sustainable future: **renewable hydrogen** and **carbon dioxide (CO2)**, into **synthetic methane**.

Our core mission is to provide a **modular, cost-effective, and truly green solution** to one of the biggest challenges in renewable energy: its intermittency. Solar and wind power are clean, but their availability fluctuates by time of day or season. Our technology offers a robust way to store this otherwise non-storable energy.

Through rigorous beachhead analysis, we've identified **green hydrogen producers** as our initial market segment. We aim to utilize their excess hydrogen gas as a primary reactant, while sourcing CO2 from nearby industrial facilities or other sustainable alternatives.

Our Innovative Technology

The Sabatier Reaction

At the heart of our process is the Sabatier reaction ($$\text{CO}_2 + 4\text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{CH}_4 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}$$), a chemical process that efficiently converts carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methane and water. This reaction is key to creating a closed carbon loop.

Advanced Catalyst System

We employ a highly efficient catalyst. This specific catalyst formulation is designed to optimize reaction rates and selectivity, ensuring high methane yield and purity.

Monolithic Reactor Design

Our chosen **monolithic reactor** design offers significant advantages in terms of heat management, compactness, and scalability. It allows for precise control over the reaction conditions, leading to superior performance and operational stability.

Why Choose MethVolt?

Solving Intermittency

Convert excess renewable electricity (via green hydrogen) into a storable, dispatchable fuel, ensuring energy security and grid stability regardless of weather conditions or time of day.

Truly Green Solution

Our process utilizes renewable hydrogen and captured CO2, resulting in a carbon-neutral methane that contributes to a circular economy and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Cost-Effective Energy Storage

Leverage existing gas infrastructure for transport and storage, avoiding the high costs of new dedicated hydrogen pipelines and storage facilities, making long-term energy storage economically viable.

Modular and Scalable

Our modular design allows for flexible deployment at various scales, from small-scale on-site solutions to large industrial applications, adapting to diverse energy needs.

Partner with MethVolt

We are actively seeking partnerships with **green hydrogen producers** looking to maximize the value of their excess hydrogen and contribute to a sustainable energy future.
