Biogas to Biomethane: Engineering, Production, Sustainability

Biogas to Biomethane: Engineering, Production, Sustainability addresses the technical, social and economic aspects of biogas upgradation to biomethane. With a focus on the latest advances, the book examines the challenges of biomethane production from technology to safety. Sections discuss the fundamentals of biomethane production, examine the latest technologies for biogas upgradation, provide step-by-step guidance on how to calculate and model mass, energy and emission flows from different process and technological configurations, address alternative and combined approaches to biogas upgradation, such as with mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria, consider the socio-economic implications of the biogas to biomethane production chain, and more.

Additional sections discuss biosafety in relation to the technologies and processes discussed throughout the book and assess the sustainability of biomethane through lifecycle assessments and techno-economic and policy perspectives. This is an invaluable reference for researchers and industry engineers interested in biogas upgradation and the production of biomethane, and will be of interest to multidisciplinary teams working across Renewable Energy, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Science, and Sustainability Science.
