Hydrogenotrophs-Based Biological Biogas Upgrading Technologies.

ABSTRACT: Biogas produced from anaerobic digestion consists of 55-65% methane and 35-45% carbon dioxide, with an additional 1-2% of other impurities. To utilize biogas as renewable energy, a process called biogas upgrading is required. Biogas upgrading is the separation of methane from carbon dioxide and other impurities, and is performed to increase CH₄ content to more than 95%, allowing heat to be secured at the natural gas level. The profitability of existing biogas technologies strongly depends on operation and maintenance costs. Conventional biogas upgrading technologies have many issues, such as unstable high-purity methane generation and high energy consumption. However, hydrogenotrophs-based biological biogas upgrading offers an advantage of converting CO₂ in biogas dir
