Designs, builds PtG turnkey plants
Etogas/HZI EtoGas designs and builds turnkey Power-to-Gas plants that convert surplus renewable electricity into storable gases like hydrogen and synthetic natural gas. It uses electrolysis to produce hydrogen from water and, if needed, methanation to combine hydrogen with CO2 into SNG compatible with existing natural gas infrastructure. The company differentiates itself with large-scale industrial deployment (such as the Werlte Audi e-gas project), a turnkey delivery model, and integration into Hitachi Zosen Inova’s global energy portfolio. Its goal is to improve grid stability and support long-term decarbonization by storing renewable energy as synthetic gases and providing scalable PtG solutions worldwide.
