BiogastechnologieInnovative Applications
- Biomethane as a fuel -
1st petrol station in Germany with upgraded Biogas in service (Jameln/Northern Germany, June 2006)
• Biogas plant using energy crops and manure• Upgrading by drying, desulphurization, drying and
chemical absorption of CO2
• Input Raw 140 m3/h 52% CH4
• Output Upgraded 70 m3/h 96% CH4
Economic aspects• Cars powered by natural gas are more expensive (1.500-3500€)• Equivalent price for upgraded biogas
0,929 € kg-1 lower than for diesel and petrol (due to tax exemption)
Good economic preconditions for biogas-powered cars

BiogastechnologieInnovative Applications
- Feeding to gas grid -
Research adsorptive, absorptive and physical techniques
Just a few plants in service 1st two plants in Germany were Pliening and Straelen working with PSA in Dec 2006; inst. (eq.) Pel
2MW latest plant in service near Könnern in Saxony-Anhalt with 2MWel
large scale biogas plants due to high costs for upgrading
Gas grid may be used as gasholder optimizing heat usage supply peak load (theor.)
Further plants under construction municipal utilities highly interested

Biogastechnologie
Fuel Cells• el. efficiency is up to 48% (55%); 1 pilot plant (in service)• less noise, useful for urban applications
ORC-Modules • 10% raise in el. efficiency; at least 3 plants in service• advantageous in combination with micorturbines
Microturbines• less sensitive, low maintenance costs, high durability• compared to gas engines low el. efficiency (38% 28%)

Conclusions
25
BiogastechnologieConclusions- Advantages - biogas - a very flexible fuel -
Decrease in GHG-emissions
Flexible technologies from small to large scale applications (several kW until MW) available
New field of income for farmers, public services, recycling companies…
Long lasting regional connection between energy industry and local actors
biogas in Germany has still high potentials less dependency on natural gas imports Emission certificates trading can play an important role
Increasing importance all over Europe!
