Biomethane is a popular renewable fuel which is finding rapid acceptance across the world. Biomethane, the upgraded form of biogas, is obtained by removing carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and water vapours from raw biogas. Biomethane is less corrosive than biogas, due to the absence of CO2 and sulphur, which makes… Continue reading
Most, if not all of Europe has a suitable climate for biogas production. The specific type of system depends on the regional climate. Regions with harsher winters may rely more on animal waste and other readily available materials compared to warmer climates, which may have access to more crop waste or organic… Continue reading
Agricultural waste is the most prolific feedstock for anaerobic digestion plants worldwide. A wide range of crop wastes can be used for biogas production, including straw, husk, bagasse, corn cob, wood wastes etc. The key factors driving the anaerobic digestion of agricultural wastes are physico-chemical properties, pretreatment process, C:N ratio,… Continue reading
Biomass gasification is the combustion of biomass wastes in limited air leading to the formation of a combustible gas, known as synthesis gas or syngas, consisting of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, methane, water, nitrogen, besides contaminants like char particles, ash and tars. Biomass gasification is an efficient way to… Continue reading
