Flexible application of biogas upgrading membranes for hydrogen recycle in power-to-methane processes

Oliver Kröcher, Andreas Gantenbein

Direct methanation of biogas converts the CO2 in raw-biogas to methane, enabling higher methane yield and an elelctricity storage option via Power-to-Gas. As the thermodynamic equilibrium limits the methane yield, unreacted hydrogen has to be removed and r ...
