Biocat Roslev - Project 1

The project aims at building a “power-to-gas” plant near Roslev. Denmark will benefit from this technology in a number of ways, such as the optimization of biogas plants and the reduction of CO2 released into the atmosphere.

Project description
Ten project partners are preparing the development of the first commercial scale bio-methanation system worldwide. The plant will be built at Rybbjerggaard near Roslev. The site today contains two anaerobic digesters and a biogas upgrading/grid injection facility owned by Jens Christiansen. The future system is planned to include a 8MWel Electrolyser linked to a bio-methanation system with a capacity of 400Nm3/h CO2 conversion. Power-to-gas (P2G) is ideally suited to meet Denmark’s renewable goals. By converting the CO2 share of raw biogas into methane, the efficiency of biogas plants is increased by 66% and the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere is reduced by up to 100%. Surplus heat can be used in anaerobic digesters enabling the operator to increase the share of manure as input energy. In effect, biogas plants require a smaller share of high quality crops, thus increasing land-use efficiency. The bio-methanation system will be advanced from TRL-6 to TRL-8 through design, execution and full integration into the host facility.
The team focusses on three areas:
Creation of a regulatory environment that makes an economic operation of P2G possible
  • Development/ evaluation of a market model and growth strategy for P2G in Denmark
Technical project preparation
