Claus Friis Pedersen clfp@topsoe.dk Grøn gas gennem metanisering
An integrated energy infrastructure CH4 + CO2 + 4H2 2CH4 + 2 H2O
Haldor Topsøe group (2011) Catalyst and engineering for Fertilizers Refineries The environmental sector Synthetic fuels • Turnover: DKK 4.4 billion • Result: DKK 397 MM • 2091 employees • 250 employees in R&D
Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) - Xinjiang Qinghua • 50 PJ corresponding to >50% of the total Danish Natural gas consumption • 5 PJ gasified biomass SNG plants are projected • 0.1 PJ would be a large biogas methanation unit Transport SNG in pipelines rather than coal on trucks

The business case (w. 5% interest) 2035 91% Electrolysis 2020 100% Electrolysis Plant size: 75 mio Nm3 biogas/year Mio DKK
Pilot test at Foulum – 5 Nm3/h CH4 + CO2 + 4H2 2CH4 + 2 H2O
Summary • Electrolysis based biogas upgrade has the potential to: • Store electricity as fuel • Increase the biogas production • The business case is interesting but many aspects are still uncertain • A pilot scale field trial is planned for 2015
