Abstract:

Nowadays, biomethane production from biomass and its waste has been intensively investigated. There are various conversion technologies for biomethane production, which are expected to play a specific role in the future energy as a green biofuel for transportation or power generation at small scale. The gasification and methanation of the biomass pathway is not as advanced as anaerobic digestion, but the advancement of this technology in the last decade leads to the development of new cost-effective biomethane production technology. The aim of this work is to develop and test an innovative biomethane production concept based on plasmochemical gasification and conversion of synthetic gases to biomethane using a new metal hydride catalyst. The technology developed can be integrated into small combined heat and power plants, bio-waste generating plants or decentralized areas as an additional source of renewable energy or biofuel production. This paper presents results of the optimum operating conditions of biomethanation process using CO2 and artificial syngas conversion over a metal hydride catalyst.
