The biogas plant of the future.

Reversepowerplant meets biogas plant: Innovative production of renewable energy, green carbon and biomethane.

The challenge

Many biogas plants feed their gas directly into combined heat and power plants - the problem here is that falling remuneration and rising costs are neither economical nor sustainable. Biogas plants are technically ideal for biomethane production, which offers the greatest economic benefit today. However, a reliable heat source is required for processing and fermenter operation. This is made possible by the combination of a Reversepowerplant and a biogas plant - without additional energy costs and much more economically efficient.

Reversepowerplant meets biogas plant

The solution

Reversepowerplant meets biogas plant. Efficient implementation begins with the energy output of the SYNCRAFT CW1800-500 system type, which optimally covers the heat requirement for a biogas plant with a capacity of 500 m3/h. In addition to the process heat, renewable electricity and Green Carbon are generated: economical, sustainable, cost-effective. The electricity generated can be used flexibly: at attractive feed-in tariffs for the public grid or for low-cost self-supply. Especially if a CCS plant is also operated to capture carbon dioxide. This makes the economically and ecologically optimized biogas plant even more economical. Both the green carbon produced during energy generation and the CCS plant generate CO2 certificates.

The result

Combined with a Reversepowerplant , biogas plants cover their entire energy requirements themselves. The advantages: No additional energy costs, predictable income from electricity generation, improved fermentation through the green carbon produced, increased methane yield by approx. 8%, increased gas yield* with ideal conversion and generation of CO2₂ certificates through long-term carbon sequestration. Specifically, 500 tons of Green Carbon correspond to 1,500 CO2 certificates. In short: a biogas plant becomes a future-proof, sustainable and economically strong solution.

"The combination of a biogas plant with biomethane upgrading and an integrated drying plant with a Reversepowerplant creates a closed energy cycle: The reverse power plant provides the thermal energy required to operate the plant, while the biomethane produced is fed into the gas grid as a high-quality, renewable energy source."
