PPS4
RESEARCH & INNOVATION IN RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION
RNG PRODUCTION
Innovative Project
Development and testing at a pilot demonstration scale of a new concept of production process that will convert carbon dioxide - obtained from biogas - in biomethane, by an improved hydrogen methanation process. The final product can be compressed or liquefied in bio-RNG or bio-LNG for final use as RNG in transport, in particular heavy goods road, passenger road and maritime.

PPS4 GOALS
Production of 100% renewable natural gas (RNG) in the form of biomethane (bio-RNG/LNG).
This PPS4 intends to demonstrate a sustainable integrated technology for the production of gaseous biofuel with a sustainability index above 95% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, compared to the use of diesel, in the medium and long road freight sector distance.
RNG Production: Innovations
-
Use of catalysts developed in the project for the methanation reaction
-
Designing a more efficient Methanation Reactor
-
Improving sustainability in the production of gaseous biofuels for transport
STEPS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED
1. Laboratory Studies of Catalytic Methanation with Development of New Catalysts and the Alternative of its Biological Methanation
2. Integration of Electrolyzer and Methanation Reactor
3. Construction and Testing of Prototype for Demonstration
4. Life Cycle Assessment As well as Technical-Economic Process at the Demonstration Scale.
