From BIOGAS to BIO-LNG
Description
A special start to the Groningen Society of Engineers with this first lecture of the new season. A fascinating topic in a special location.
At this lecture, members of the Groningen Chemical Circle (GCK) and KIVI Regio Noord are also welcome.
Explanation of the presentation:
Sander Wijnsma, 21-year-old student of the Chemical Engineering course at Van Hall Larenstein in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, conducted research on the liquid transport fuel bio-LNG during his 3rd year internship at Gasunie New Energy. The interesting thing about this transport fuel is that it is the green variant of the fossil LNG, which has been on the rise over the past decade as a fuel for trucks and cargo ships.
The influx of this renewable fuel will allow the use of already existing and yet-to-be-deployed LNG infrastructure.
The bio-LNG will then be able to contribute to greening the transport sector and eventually lead to achieving the climate targets in the climate agreement. To produce bio-LNG, biomass such as VGF waste and sewage sludge is first converted to biogas in a digester.
This biogas consists mainly of methane and is contaminated with carbon dioxide and other impurities such as water and hydrogen sulphide. Then, the pollutants are removed from the methane and the clean biogas also known as biomethane can be liquefied into bio-LNG. This study has mapped the conversion of biogas to bio-LNG and the current market with its requirements to resolve ambiguities in this innovative sector. Through interviews with the working field, additional information on the various plants and the market's requirements in terms of quality and price was obtained.
Stork Competence Center Renewable Energy, a member of the National LNG Platform, believes that Sander's good research deserved a broader platform and therefore offers YOU the opportunity to hear the presentation at a beautiful location yourself and to ask the researcher Sander Wijnstra questions.
