From the biogas to vehicle fuel
The biogas consists mainly of methane and carbon dioxide. Other components can be water and sulphur, mainlyhydrogen sulphide. To be able to use the biogas as vehicle fuel or to distribute it in natural gas grids the gas has to becleaned and upgraded. The biogas is upgraded by removing carbon dioxide to raise the calorific value and create a gaswith constant quality. One of the techniques to ...

No Pipeline for Renewable Natural Gas Projects? No problem. Use Virtual Pipeline Technology
On site biogas production Biogas can be produced from various organic resources of which the most common are agricultural waste, municipal waste, landfills, and wastewater treatment facilities. But biogas upgrading is also very much applicable in the (food & beverage) industry. Through biogas upgrading, trace impurities and carbon dioxide (CO2) in raw biogas are separated from methane (CH4) ...

Biogas upgrading using the DMT Carborex® PWS Technology.
Abstract Gas is an excellent fuel for a large number of applications and can also be used as raw material for the pro- duction of chemicals. Biogas can be used in more or less all the applications that are developed for natural gas. For some of the applications biogas may have to be upgraded. Injection of biogas into the natural gas grid will result in an improved security of supply. This is ...

Biogas upgrading: Membrane separation takes over
Abstract Due to governmental incentives and growing environmental awareness, it becomes increasingly attractive to upgrade biogas to natural gas quality and inject it into the natural gas grid or to use it as transport fuel. In this way, the biomethane can be utilized with the highest energy efficiency. Progressively, effort is being put into the utilization of organic waste streams in anaerobic ...

The Future of Biogas: Why Biogas Analyzers are Key to Advancements in Renewable Energy
As the world continues to shift towards sustainable energy sources, biogas is emerging as a valuable and versatile renewable energy option. Biogas is produced through the decomposition of organic matter, such as agricultural waste and sewage, and can be used to generate electricity, heat, and fuel. However, to get the most out of this resource, it is crucial to understand and monitor the quality ...

Residential Heat and Power - Case Study
A wide variety of technologies are available to provide heating and electricity to our homes. In countries with a stable electricity grid, lighting and heating are taken for granted; but the desire for cleaner energy is highlighting how dirty grid electricity is around the world, and concerns over the future of nuclear power are adding to the debate. Many countries also have a network that ...

A GIS-based regional energy-environment policy model
This paper describes a regional energy-environment modelling approach that explicitly takes into account the spatial distribution of production and demand activities, with their associated emissions. Indeed, some of the information used at a regional level has a spatial representation (e.g. district heating, electricity grid, natural gas network, traffic, public transport, etc.). We have defined ...

Simplistic understanding of transitioning to renewables in Colorado
We have all heard that renewables are now cheaper than coal or gas, especially after the Xcel bid that was reported in 2018, with PV with battery storage at a median price of $38/MWh (3.8 C/kWh) and Wind at $19.3/MWh (1.9 c/kWh). If this is true, why don't we just replace everything with wind and solar right now? It is, of course, a bit trickier than that. These prices, listed above, are for ...

Biomethane enters the gas grid article for energy world
The Carbon Plan, published in 2011, aims to reduce UK carbon emissions by a quarter from 1990 levels. With the current policies in place, the UK is on target to reduce emissions by over a third by 2020 and with the introduction of new technologies this should increase to an 80% reduction by 2050. However, currently around half the UK’s carbon emissions result from heat related processes and ...

New technology enables biogas plant optimization
Governments around the world are seeking to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the fight against climate change, to reduce waste to landfill, and to increase their utilisation of renewable energy in compliance with international agreements. Consequently, in many countries, subsidies have been made available to encourage the growth of the biogas sector. According to the International ...

Hydrogen as Future Fuel for Gas Engines
Gas engines are providing a wide range of fuel flexibility from burning natural gas and a variety of non- natural gaseous fuels from low British Thermal Unit (BTU) gases as well as gases containing a high hydrogen content. Hydrogen containing gases can be found as by-product from steel (furnace gas) or chemical process, or alternatively hydrogen is produced and blended to natural gas. In the ...
