Biogas to the grid - phase 1

With Thorsø Biogas- & Miljøanlæg (hereafter THMB) as reference case for an assessment of the possibility of applying the existing natural gas grid for distribution of biogas will be carried out. Systems for cleaning and upgrading biogas to natural gas quality exist.
Results

Technology for biogas upgrading to natural gas quality is available and is practised today, particularly in Sweden. However, several barriers hamper this shift in Denmark. The project briefly describes how biogas can be cleaned of various undesired components and assesses upgrade costs, energy consumption, methane emission and framework conditions for biogas upgrading. The project also describes challenges in grid control and operation. (Energy 10)
