Johnson Matthey and Shell successfully completed a detailed technical evaluation and de-risking study for JM’s e-methane solution. Working together, the parties demonstrated that a derisked solution for steady state projects based on this technology can be delivered at scale without the need for a further demonstration project.

E-methane is a synthetic gas produced from CO₂ and H₂ that has the potential to be used as a drop-in replacement to help decarbonize transport and industry. E-methane can be transported long distances by converting it to liquified synthetic gas (LSG) which can be used in existing liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure.

JM’s technology has been adapted to create a reliable, easy to operate and economical solution for e-methane production. JM’s e-methane offer is built on over 100 years’ research in methanation and extensive experience licensing synthetic natural gas plants.
