About
Methanology is a private headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland with approximately 10-50 employees specializing in Hydrogen, Energy Storage.
Methanology is a Switzerland-based cleantech and engineering company founded by scientists and engineers that develops the willpower energy system—a patent-protected electro-biocatalytic technology that converts atmospheric CO2 into renewable methanol. The company uses specially evolved enzymes to transform water-dissolved CO2 into methanol, which serves as a hydrogen-based liquid energy storage medium. The renewable methanol produced contains approximately three times the hydrogen energy per litre compared to compressed hydrogen gas and can be used for heating, electricity generation, mobility, and industrial applications. The system is designed for decentralized deployment, enabling individuals, families, farms, and companies to produce fossil-free energy from local resources. The company plans to launch its WPE-RS10 (willpower energy Reactor System 10) product demonstrator in 2025, targeting a selling price below CHF 20,000. The technology addresses intermittency challenges in solar and wind energy by enabling long-term storage and seasonal energy shifting.
