BIOGAS-BIOMETHANE

Biogas and biomethane are two important areas related to the production of energy from biological materials.

Both alternative ways of producing energy have advantages in terms of environmental sustainability. In addition, their use contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the replacement of more polluting energy sources.

Biogas production can be done through various processes such as anaerobic digestion and thermal gasification. Biogas is mainly composed of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), with methane being the main energy component and a valuable source of clean energy. The comparative advantage of biogas power generation is that the energy production is continuous and is not affected by external and unstable factors such as the climate.

By upgrading biogas, we get biomethane. This clean form of biogas can be used as a substitute for natural gas in CNG-powered vehicles, heavy-duty road transport and shipping, as well as various industrial and domestic heating purposes. During the production of biomethane, the elements CO2, H2O, H2S and other impurities are removed, leaving a pure gas of high calorific value, of the same composition and value as natural gas.
