It's possible that renewable natural gases could solve the waste problem in the United States. In the coming years, renewable natural gases could be an option to the heavily dependent United States on fossil fuels. This article describes some methods used to produce renewable natural gases.
Biogas
Biogas is an alternative energy source that can be made from organic matter. It can be used as a fuel for vehicles, heating, and power. It is also a great feedstock to bio-products. This can be used to reduce the carbon footprint of natural gas supply. Biogas is a viable option, and can be used to replace coal in power plants. The key to the future of biogas is making it affordable and accessible.
Biogas is a renewable fuel that can replace mined natural gases in power plants, ground transportation and commercial buildings. Biogas can eventually be converted to biomethane which can be used to make electricity and electric cars.
Synthetic gas
Synthetic gas is a substitute for natural gas. It can be made from coal, biofuels, or other renewable energy sources. It is also called bioSNG, syngas, and egas. It can be mixed with natural gas to provide your energy needs. It can also been compressed and stored in the gas grid.
Synthetic gas can be used to power a turbine and produce electricity. It doesn't need to be heated or cleaned. The hot syn-gas expands within the turbine and spins blades. The spinning blades then power a compressor and a generator, converting the gas into electricity. You can heat the gas to make water and dry feedstocks.
Catalytic hydrogen gasification
Catalytic hydrothermal (CH) gasification uses heat and pressure to transform natural gas into fuels. It has many benefits, including high yields, fast operation and low capital cost. It is a good alternative to current valuation methods and can be deployed near farms.
It involves using high temperatures and pressures to convert biomass into gas. The methane in the resulting gas can then be fed into the gas grid and CNG stations. The process is eco-friendly and produces very little waste. Additionally, the process can extract mineral salts from the biomass.
Algae methane
Anaerobic fermentation (AD) of algae can make methane. This process is very efficient and doesn't require any prior treatment. Furthermore, algae can be utilized as a renewable fuel source without sacrificing their biological functions.
Algae methane could be a natural gas source. But, it is essential to develop suitable technologies for biogas production. This is vital to minimize methane-related losses. In addition, future LCAs must take into account the unrecovered nitrogen that results in N2O.
Biomethane
Biomethane (also known as biogas) is a natural, renewable gas. It is made from biomass. It generally contains 45 to 75 per cent methane and the remainder is CO2. Biomethane can also be used to heat or cook. The process of upgrading accounts for 90% of the biomethane produced. Upgrading is the use of different properties for separating the gas components. About 60% of biomethane can be produced by membrane separation.
Biomethane has low carbon emissions and flexibility. It is therefore considered a natural gas that can be used to generate renewable energy. It is expected contribute significantly to the transition toward a carbon free energy system by 2050. It has attracted the attention also of several governments, including the United States and Canada.
