Project title: Innovative catalytic upgrading of biogas
The scope of this PhD project is to demonstrate how the polluting greenhouse gas CO2 can be converted to natural gas. This process is combustion going backwards. Being inverted combustion the process requires a lot of energy. This PhD will demonstrate how electricity from windmills can be the energy source. A 50kW pilot plant will demonstrate the chemical processes using biogas as source of CO2. The produced natural gas will be pumped to the national gas grid. The PhD project will highlight the flexibility this technology introduces to renewable energy sources and will serve as a promising solution to both CO2 pollution and energy storage requirements of the future.
