Competitiveness of syngas biomethanation integrated with carbon capture and storage, power-to-gas and biomethane liquefaction services: Techno-economic modeling of process scenarios and evaluation of subsidization requirements

Scale up study of a thermophilic trickle bed reactor performing syngas biomethanation

“…The successful scale-up and field testing of the trickle bed reactor are important steps towards the commercialization of this technology for the valorization of recalcitrant biomass generated from forestry residues. A recent technoeconomic assessment[37] on the biomethanation of biomass derived syngas reported profitability for 8 MW plants assuming the implementation of incentive mechanisms similar to the ones apllied in Italy for anaerobic digestion. The outcome of the technoeconomic study provides an additional motivation to further upscale the technology and validate its efficiency and sustainability in pilot or even demonstration scale.…”
