21 TRL 3,4 TRL 7-9 TRL 4,5 TRL 6 Second stage of Industry Green Gas from gasification of woody crops

22 Gothenburg Biomass Gasification Project (GoBiGas)

23 Thermal production of Biomethane CO + 3H 2 = CH 4 + H 2 O CO H 2 = CH 4 + 2H 2 O 2CO + 2H 2 = CH 4 + CO 2 Gas upgrading Removal of CO2 Typically ca. 65% energy efficiency

28 Seasonal Variation in composition of Laminaria Digitata

29 Seasonal Variation in biomethane yield from Laminaria Digitata

30 Seasonal Variation in A. nodosum

31 Cultivating Seaweed IEA Bioenergy Task 37 Position adjacent to fish farms, protect fish from jelly fish Increased yields of seaweed as compared to pristine waters Clean water of excess nutrients Harvest when yield is highest 31

32

33 Long term co-digestion of seaweed with dairy slurry

34 Higher methane yields after ensiling can compensate for silage fermentation losses. No losses in methane yield occurred during 90 day storage for 4 of 5 species.
