The Reverion M power plant converts methane-rich gases such as biogas and natural gas into electricity at 74.2% measured electrical efficiency (a 2025 record in customer operation) and up to 80% announced, and can also supply synthetic methane, green hydrogen and CO₂ as needed. It uses patented solid oxide cells that run either as fuel cells (SOFC) for power generation or as electrolysers (SOEC) for energy storage, switching between the two modes in under one minute. In power generation mode the only by-product is pure, biogenic CO₂, which can be captured for permanent storage or industrial use. Each unit is built as a modular, standardized container of about 35 to 40 t, and units can be combined into larger power generation and storage plants. Target applications include agricultural biogas plants, municipal utilities such as wastewater treatment plants, sector coupling projects and on-site power for data centers.
