Project summary description:
To assess the feasibility of hydrogen methanation within the Australian context. This includes conducting a comprehensive review of both existing and emerging methanation technologies, along with their associated costs and challenges. Furthermore, the project aims to develop an economic model for various production options, evaluate opportunities to determine the conditions favouring methanation viability, and undertake a comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) that takes into account all emission components.
