12 Biomethane Contact person Dr.-Ing. Michael Seiffert Contact person Marcus Trommler Research focuses Biomethane provision via thermo-chemical methane synthesis (SNG) concept development Gasification and gas cleaning as parts of SNG pathways concepts for biochemical biomethane provision, Focus: small scale Concept assessment Support for demonstration plants Laboratory and software tools Laboratory plants for methane synthesis Biogas laboratory plant, platform for small sale biogas treatment Technical, economical and environmental assessment methodology Projects (Examples) SNGPro (SAB, SNG provision) Klimaeffekte Biomethan (FNR, environmental assessment) 13

13 DBFZ Project example Klimaeffekte einer Biomethanwirtschaft Targets of research project Measurement based analysis of the environmental impact of existing large scale biomethane plants and biomethane filling stations Deduction of possible climate effects of increasing biomethane provision Discovering and assessment of possibilities for decreasing of emission Evaluation and further-development of measurement and assessment methods Analysis of obstructions and risks of biomethane as transportation fuels compared to alternative application in the fields of CHP and heat provision 14

14 DBFZ DBFZ International Cooperations 15

15 Project example: Bioenergy from biogas using various types of waste substrates from the Brazilian bioethanol industry Objectives of the research project Contribution to a sustainable bioeconomy in Brazil in the field of ethanol production Optimization of the anaerobic digestion process for wastes as vinasse, bagasse, filter cake and other Analysis of the anaerobic metabolism Analysis of the digestate effect on different soils Technological and ecological evaluation of the biogas chain 16
