the use of woody materials in biogas energy production
Description
gasification of wood and the use of wood syngas plus biogas from manure to produce biomethane
Sector
A2.4Support services to forestry
Needs/ Problem statement
to produce and use the gasification gas to boost methane formation in the biogas process, and simultaneously produce biochar, and the use of woody materials in biogas energy production without increasing the amount of digestate from the biogas process
Objective
the production of biomethane from forest residues and waste wood and the use of the same equipment for the simultaneous production of biochar and product gas in an energy-efficient process
