Abstract

Anaerobic digestion plants enable the production of power, heat and fuel. Biogas can be upgraded to biomethane fulfilling grid injection requirements by separating CH4 from CO2. By- product CO2 could be geologically stored or utilized as a feedstock to produce valuable goods, enabling in both cases negative climate change impact fuel production. CO2 utilization could as well improve plant economics, as a consequence of the profits related to the commercialization of the final products whilst allowing further emission reductions.
