TURN2X opens Miajadas power-to-gas plant
TURN2X has launched a power-to-gas facility in Spain to produce synthetic methane from green hydrogen.
Key points
- The Miajadas facility converts green hydrogen and carbon dioxide into synthetic methane.
- The plant integrates electrolysis, methanation and existing gas network interfaces.
- The project has received backing from the EU Hydrogen Bank.
What happened
TURN2X GmbH has commenced operations at a power-to-gas demonstration facility located at the Primero de Mayo industrial estate in Miajadas, Extremadura, according to Hydrogen Fuel News and El Confidencial.
The installation utilises a water electrolyser powered by certified renewable electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. The resulting green hydrogen subsequently reacts with carbon dioxide to produce synthetic methane that is compatible with current gas network infrastructure.
Why it matters
The project serves as a testbed for integrating renewable gases into pipelines originally constructed for fossil fuel supplies, combining electrolysis, methanation and grid interfaces at a single location. The facility has also secured support from the EU Hydrogen Bank, highlighting institutional backing for scalable power-to-gas technologies.
What comes next
Operations at the Extremadura site will continue to test the integration of synthetic methane into standard distribution pipelines, providing operational data for similar renewable gas initiatives across Europe.

Context from CEII
Gas is the flexible backbone of many grids and the designated transition fuel in many national plans, from LNG trade to domestic LPG and CNG. Supply security and pricing drive both power reliability and emissions.
