About
Founded in 2014, Electrochaea GmbH is a private headquartered in Planegg, Germany specializing in Hydrogen, Energy Storage.
Electrochaea is a leading Power-to-Gas technology company specializing in biomethanation. The company's proprietary technology uses selectively evolved methanogenic archaea as a biological catalyst to synthesize e-methane from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The archaea strain was adapted by Prof. Laurens Mets at the University of Chicago to maximize industrial performance. The technology achieves 98.5% CO2 conversion efficiency, operates under mild conditions, and tolerates impurities in CO2 feedstock from landfills, waste-to-energy plants, biogas facilities, and industrial sources. E-methane output is independently certified and grid-quality, enabling direct injection, liquefaction to eLNG, or on-site utilization. Electrochaea has demonstrated the technology at commercial scale and partners with major industrial companies including Baker Hughes and Hitachi.
