Supported ruthenium nanoparticles for supercritical water gasification - synthesis, activity and stability

Christopher Marc Hunston

Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is a promising and versatile technology for the conversion of a variety of wet biomass streams into renewable natural gas. In this work, the focus was set on methane production with the help of an active and stable m ...

Lateral variations and vertical structure of the microbial methane cycle in the sediment of Lake Onego (Russia)

Natacha Tofield-Pasche, Nathalie Dubois

The significance of methane production by lakes to the global production of greenhouse gas is well acknowledged while underlying processes sustaining the lacustrine methane budget remain largely unknown. We coupled biogeochemical data to functional and phy ...

Optimal design of solid-oxide electrolyzer based power-to-methane systems: A comprehensive comparison between steam electrolysis and co-electrolysis

François Maréchal, Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Ligang Wang, Hossein Madi, Maria del Mar Perez Fortes

Power-to-methane technologies have been regarded as a promising alternative to offer small or large-scale, long-timescale (daily/weekly/seasonal) energy storage as well as the opportunity of utilizing CO2. The performance of the core component, the electro ...

Full-scale evaluation of methane production under oxic conditions in a mesotrophic lake

Sabine Flury McGinnis

Oxic lake surface waters are frequently oversaturated with methane (CH4). The contribution to the global CH4 cycle is significant, thus leading to an increasing number of studies and stimulating debates. Here we show, using a mass balance, on a temperate, ...

Controls on subsurface methane fluxes and shallow gas formation in Baltic Sea sediment (Aarhus Bay, Denmark)

Sabine Flury McGinnis

Shallow gas accumulates in coastal marine sediments when the burial rate of reactive organic matter beneath the sulfate zone is sufficiently high and the methanogenic zone is sufficiently deep. We investigated the controls on methane production and free me ...

Peatland vascular plant functional types affect methane dynamics by altering microbial community structure

Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills

Peatlands are natural sources of atmospheric methane (CH4), an important greenhouse gas. It is established that peatland methane dynamics are controlled by both biotic and abiotic conditions, yet the interactive effect of these drivers is less studied and ...

Methane Production from Microalgae via Continuous Catalytic Supercritical Water Gasification: Development of Catalysts and Sulfur Removal Techniques

Gaël Peng

This doctoral thesis aims at demonstrating the technical feasibility of methane production from microalgae via continuous catalytic supercritical water gasification (CSCWG). This work focuses on three different research approaches: (i) assessment and impro ...

Summer methane fluxes from a boreal bog in northern Quebec, Canada, using eddy covariance measurements

Marc Parlange, Daniel Nadeau

A boreal bog located in the James Bay lowlands, Canada, was instrumented with an open-path gas analyzer to monitor the turbulent fluxes of methane throughout the summer of 2012. The mostly continuous eddy covariance measurements permitted the study of meth ...

Inoculum origin and adaptation had no influence on biomethane potential results with different substrates

Christof Holliger, Marc Deront, Nathalie Bachmann

Biomethane potential (BMP) tests are a valuable tool to design different parts of full-scale anaerobic digestion plants. Recent inter-laboratory studies have shown that the results of BMP tests can vary considerably and a comparison of BMP test norm protoc ...
