Purified biogas, known as biomethane, which has equivalent characteristics to those of natural gas, can be used in natural gas networks or as engine fuel. A renewable energy source as promising as it is virtuous…
The energy transition and tackling climate change depend on the development of new renewable resources. IFPEN proposes processes for the production of fuels, bases for the chemicals sector and gas from biomass. IFPEN also uses its expertise acquired in the field of oil and gas to offer solutions for the
Biogas Our strengths Expertise in gas treatment applicable to biogas purification: see video (in French) with Julien Grandjean, research engineer at IFPEN.
Biogas Our networks Biomet Project Within the context of the French Investments for the Future program, ADEME supported the Biomet project targeting the energy recovery of biomass using high-energy performance gas sweetening technology. In partnership with the SME Arol Energy, IFPEN worked on the purification of biogas from biomethane fermentation
Biogas OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES Biogas refers to all gases produced via the biological or chemical conversion of biomass/biowaste. Once the gas has been purified to meet regulatory requirements, biomethane can be injected into the natural gas networks or used as a fuel. There are two principal methods of producing biogas
The development of methanisation sectors is part of a drive to create a circular economy that simultaneously serves three purposes: treat waste, supply energy ( biogas a), and produce fertilizers
