MAN Technology For Finland E-Methane Plant

Ren-Gas, a green hydrogen and e-methane project developer, has selected MAN Energy Solution (MAN Energy) as one of the technology providers for its Tampere, Finland, power-to-gas project.

MAN Energy will deliver a 50 MW methanation reactor for the Ren-Gas Tampere e-methane plant. The equipment delivery will consist of catalytic methanation reactor designed and manufactured in Germany. MAN Energy will oversee the design, manufacturing, pre-fabrication, testing, delivery, installation supervision, commissioning, and performance testing of the equipment.

Upon startup in 2027, the Ren-Gas Tampere facility will produce renewable e-methane for heavy road and maritime transport sectors. In the e-methane production MAN Energy’s methanation reactor will use approximately 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide captured annually from the Tarastenjärvi waste incineration plant’s flue gases, along with green hydrogen produced with electrolyzers. The plant will yield approximately 200 GWh of renewable fuel for heavy road and maritime transport annually, as well as 180 GWh of carbon dioxide-free district heating for Tampere’s district heating system.
