Imagine taking the waste gases from a standard biogas plant and giving them a second life. By adding renewable electricity or hydrogen, this project turns those waste gases into extra fuel. It's like adding a turbocharger to a bio-energy plant to get more gas out of the same amount of waste.
Biomethane production is often too expensive and inefficient to compete with fossil fuels. Current plants waste CO2 effluents that could be converted into additional fuel.
Five demonstration plants in Europe implementing hybrid thermochemical, biochemical, electrochemical, and biological production routes.
If you are a biogas plant operator dealing with high production costs and wasted CO2 effluents — this project developed innovative production pathways that can reduce biomethane production costs by 13% to 44%.
If you are an industrial waste processor dealing with low efficiency in anaerobic digestion — this project developed a combination of biochemical and electrochemical pathways to increase biomethane production potential by 66% by 2030.
If you are a green hydrogen producer dealing with limited market outlets for your gas — this project developed a system to combine renewable hydrogen with CO2 from gasification to increase overall biomethane yield.
Based on available project data, the demonstrated technologies aim to reduce biomethane production costs by 13% to 44%.
The project is demonstrating five innovative pathways across five countries, aiming to reach TRL 6-7 by the end of the project, which indicates a pilot-scale demonstration.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on exploitation, market penetration, and replicability, though specific licensing terms are not provided.
The project targets specific impacts by 2030, including a 66% increase in production potential and 113 Mt CO2eq GHG savings.
The system integrates with conventional anaerobic digestion and gasification plants by capturing CO2 effluents and combining them with renewable energy to boost yield.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward industrial application, with 10 industry partners (45% ratio) and 6 SMEs. This strong industrial presence, spanning 9 countries and 22 partners, suggests a high focus on commercial viability and market penetration rather than pure academic research.
