Overview Biomethane What is biogas, what is biomethane? 26.07.2017 www.planet-biogas.com 9

Overview Biomethane Biogas – a highly flexible energy source • Many possible feedstocks: • Municipal solid waste (negative feedstock cost) • Food processing waste (reduced disposal costs) • Animal waste – manure (zero feedstock cost) • Agricultural residues (combined with manure) • Wood residues (gasification and methanation) • Many possible uses: • Transport (including marine shipping and trucks) • Power (including grid balancing with wind and solar) • Industrial heat (including combined head and power) • Building heat (residential and commercial buildings) • Cooking (modern stoves in developing countries) • Material use in chemical industry (including CO 2 use) 26.07.2017 www.planet-biogas.com 10

Overview Biomethane Biomethane Upgrading Technologies • Biogas Washing : Absorption  With pressurised water : Water scrubbing  With organic solvent :  With a solvent : Physical absorption  With amines : Amine Washing • Adsorption: Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) • Permeation : Membranes • Low Temperature : Cryogenics 08.06.2017 www.planet-biogas.com 11

Conclusion Perspectives of Biomethane for the Future • Biomethane can be fed into existing gas grids; for this a gas grid must be available • Biomethane as vehicle fuel has a big potential worldwide • As CNG biomethane can be stored and transported even without the existance of a gas grid • Especially when feedstock is available at low cost of for free (waste, sewage etc.) and a company has its own vehicle fleet, biomethane as vehicle fuel is an interesting option (i.e. palm oil industry) • A by-product of the biomethane production is CO 2 which can be used in various industrial sectors (i.e. beverage industry, greenhouses) 08.06.2017 www.planet-biogas.com 24
