Detailed analysis of bio-SNG technologies and other RE-gases

The overall purpose of the project is to analyse high efficiency bio-SNG (Substitute Natural Gas) technologies and to describe different aspects, technical and economical, of the interaction between the bio-SNG gases and the natural gas grid. Next to evaluate the potential impact of the technologies in regards to the quantity of suitable and available biomass. Furthermore an overview and analysis will be given for expected future and more detailed for selected technologies for renewable energy (RE) gases. Main objectives:

• Mapping of the national biomass potential suitable for SNG production and available in competition with other future biomass consuming technologies (energy, food & feed production) within existing and new sources
• A technical and economic analysis of the interaction between the integrated bio-SNG and the NG-grid
• A chemical, thermodynamic and energy/heat transfer analysis of the overall process and the intermediate processes in the direct production of SNG from biomass
• An analysis of expected future technologies of RE-gases in general related to the Danish energy system and process analysis of selected technologies

Calculation tools will be used/developed for chemical, thermodynamic and pinch analysis for relevant SNG processes. Also a calculation tool for calculations of biomass production potentials in different scenarios will be developed.
