In recent years, biogas is gaining attention as an energy source with a potential to meet the growing demand for power and fuels. Raw biogas is typically composed of about 50% methane and must be upgraded or purified for producing what is called biomethane or renewable natural gas (RNG), which can be injected into natural gas infrastructures.
The GASP group deals with the analysis of different biogas upgrading processes, such as water and amine scrubbing. The analysis is performed from both an energy and an economic point of view to assess the impact of the upgrading step on the whole biomethane production process from different plant feedstocks.
