Optimal technology selection for the biogas upgrading to biomethane

3. Upgrading Dairy Biogas to Biomethane and Other Fuels

Dairy biogas can be combusted to generate electricity and/or heat. This report, however, focuses on alternate uses of biogas including the upgrading of biogas to biomethane, a product equivalent to natural gas or other higher-grade fuels. Biomethane, which typically contains more than 95% CH (with the remainder as CO 4 2), has no technical barrier to being used interchangeably with natural gas,...

Deciphering the electron transfer mechanisms for biogas upgrading to biomethane within a mixed culture biocathode

Biogas upgrading is an expanding field dealing with the increase in methane content of the biogas to produce biomethane. Biomethane has a high calorific content and can be used as a vehicle fuel or directly injected into the gas grid. Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) could become an alternative for biogas upgrading, by which the yield of the process in terms of carbon utilisation could be incre...

Selected Methods of Advanced Biogas Upgrading

The upgrading of biogas for the production of biomethane to be injected to the natural gas grid has gained significant importance in recent years. It is often considered to be superior to the production of electricity and district heat with internal combustion engines mainly because of better energy utilisation, higher flexibility and beneficial economic prospects. Biogas upgrading is commonly ...
