The production of green methane and carboxylic acids, by converting H2 using renewable electricitywith surplus CO2 from a number of processes, has the potential to integrate gas, electricity andrefueling infrastructures, decarbonise energy supply, contribute towards energy security, as well asproviding economic benefits through expansion of market potential. Combining H2 and CO2 hasrecently been achieved using a microbial process, however, productivity is limited by the rate at whichgases can be solubilised into the liquid phase. This project will investigate the feasibility of usinginnovative oscillatory baffled reactor (OBR) technology to optimise the solubilisation of input gases,therefore optimising the rate of green gas or carboxylic acids production and improving the technicaland economic viability of the biotech processes.
