What is biogas?
! Gas mixture ! Produced in an anaerobic digestion process ! Possible feedstock material: All good degradable organic materials ! Digester sludge ! Manure (liquid & solid) ! Organic waste (Household waste, restaurant waste, food industry waste, etc.) ! Energy crops (silage of maize, grass, corn, etc.)
Dipl.-Ing. Michael Beil, Dipl.-Ing. Uw e Hoffstede, ISET, Div ision Bio-energy Systems Technology European Biomethane Fuel Conference, Gteborg/Sw eden, 2009-09-09
Composition of biogas:
! Methane CH4 (50 75 %)
! Main component of natural gas
! Carbon dioxide CO2 ! Water H2O ! Nitrogen N2 ! Oxygen O2 ! Ammonia NH3 ! Hydrogen sulphide H2S ! Other trace gases (e.g. hydrogen, siloxanes, etc.)
(25 45 %)

Biogas upgrading to produce biomethane as vehicle fuel or grid injection
! "Upgrading technologies are available and there is an experience of more than 20 years available. # "For the production of vehicle fuel & grid injection the same upgrading technologies can be used. $ "Currently there is no international standard regarding the gas quality for grid injection and the use as vehicle fuel available (only national standards: e.g. Austria, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland) % "There is no equal quality for natural gas
