No pipeline, no problem

Colony Farm - First virtual pipeline of this scale

Upgraded biogas makes a very efficient source of renewable energy, biomethane. Biogas can be produced from various organic resources of which the most common are agricultural waste, municipal waste, landfills, and wastewater treatment facilities. Some of these sites are in very remote areas that do not have access to a national grid to inject the produced biomethane into. Virtual Pipeline offers the solution.

A virtual pipeline is an alternative method to transport natural gas, or biomethane, to remote places or places that are not connected to the national gas grid network. It replicates the continuous flow of a fixed physical pipeline, working where physical pipelines are not able and to monetise gas in regions with changing supply and demand centers. It offers flexibility to produce biogas and still be able to inject it into the national grid. It can also provide a bridge for injection until new pipelines become available.

Key words: biogas, biomethane, biogas upgrading, power, predicable source of income, renewable energy, remote areas, pipeline connection
