THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF A BIOGAS POWER PLANT

Environmental Engineering and Management Journal, 2014
In our study, we examined the annual carbon footprint and energy balance of a Hungarian biogas power plant with a power output of 0.637 MW in 2013, with reference to the complete life cycle of the biogas production. The life cycle analysis (LCA) considered the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) during the production of feedstock and its transportation

Fuel processing of biogas for small fuel cell power plants

Journal of Power Sources, 1995
Biogas has a huge potential as fuel for fuel cell power plants. In the present work developments in fuel processing of biogas for a phosphoric acid fuel cell power plant to be located in rural India are described. Experimental work including steam reforming and shift conversion of biogas and methane has been carried out in a laboratory development unit.

Exploitation of biogas power plant—Clean Development Mechanism project, Vizelj, Serbia

Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, 2011
This case study of biogas power plant is designed in accordance with the existing energy policy that recognizes producers of energy from renewable sources as producers with privileged status and guarantees the purchase of energy at subsidized prices. The investor company revised its own energy policy and aligned it with the priorities of sustainable ...

Analysis of parabolic trough CSTP and biogas hybrid power plant

2012 47th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC), 2012
The performance of concentrating solar thermal power (CSTP) plants is limited by the availability of the sun and other parameters such as land and water. One probable solution of viable operation of CSTP plants in Kenya is the hybridization of the CSTP plants with biogas backup systems to improve their performance.

Energy efficiency of biogas-solar power plant

2015
Consumption of thermal energy for heating the substrates in the biogas production process represents a significant energy loss. If a biogas power plant is built with biogas plants the total heat losses can be, by synergistic action, significantly reduced. This may have a decisive effect on the plant construction economic feasibility. This paper aims to

Part II of II: Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME): Biogas Power Plant

Distributed Generation & Alternative Energy Journal, 2017
ABSTRACTIndonesia is the largest palm oil producer in the world. The palm oil mills process fresh fruit bunches (FBB) and produce two main products: Crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel oil (PKO). The process generates abundant waste water called palm oil mill effluent (POME). The POME is then converted into biogas through a gasification process.

Flexible Biogas Production with the ReBi Biogas Plant Configuration for Balancing Power Generation - A Comparison of Flexible Biogas Production with Biogas Storing Configurations

2014
The share of electricity produced from renewable energy is constantly increasing in Germany and worldwide. The transformation to an electricity system based on renewable sources is characterized by an increasing need for balancing power in order to compensate power supply from fluctuating sources, such as solar or wind.
