<\/span><\/span><\/span>The European Commission has recently confirmed that nuclear and natural gas should be considered as transitional energy to reach European climate and energy targets. The EU taxonomy recently claimed the role of nuclear and natural gas projects to reach these goals . This decision has been strongly criticized, especially regarding the support to natural gas which is a fossil energy source whose direct emissions intensity still reaches 200 to 250 gCO2\/kWh and around 450 gCO2,eq\/kWh as overall carbon intensity. Biomethane and other bio synthetic natural gas (bio-SNG) offer lower carbon footprint and boost domestic energy supply for Europe. Yet current biomethane production processes offer limited potential to meet gas demand without putting stress on land use competition between energy crops and food production for instance. Therefore, new production processes need to be explored, investigated, demonstrated and upscaled to contribute efficiently and effectively to the decarbonisation and independence of the European gas sector and more widely of the European Union economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>The main objective of METHAREN is to demonstrate a cost-effective, innovative, more sustainable and circular biomethane production system enabling renewable energy sources (RES) intermittency management. The project will demonstrate the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of the whole production chain from feedstock to injection of methane into the grid.<\/span>

Optimizing Biomethane Production.<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Optimise biomethane production through the extraction of value from biogenic-CO2 and discarded residues to increase by 150% the overall production capacity of biomethane while reducing the overall production costs. The first objective of METHAREN is to significantly increase the cost-effectiveness of biomethane production on existing biogas plant sites. This innovative process demonstrated in the project represents a promising way to \u201cdiversify the conversion technology basis for biomethane production\u201d enabling an increase of the overall yield conversion into biomethane. The system will valorise biogenic-CO2 currently released to the atmosphere and especially so far discarded waste residues. More than an increase of the production, this process therefore expects to reduce overall cost of the production by 20% through this valorisation to reach a more affordable biomethane, proving the cost-effectiveness of the system. <\/pee><\/p>\n
