The Emmet Energy Foundation is developing a device that transfers the surplus of green energy into methane gas and also get it stored for a limited time. When there’s a shortage on energy, the methane gas can be transfered into energy again. The process is happening in a closed circuit. Goeie Grutten is supporting the financing of the pilot study. www.emmetenergy.com

If we want society to be free of fossil resources, there are many products that we have to produce differently. In most cases this can be done by electro catalytic processes. The devices that are needed for this process have to be improved to scale it. The University of Delft is looking for materials to be developed that can diminish the cost of these devices.
