Feasibility of applying C-Capture process with low cost materials to reduce cost of biogas upgrading

可再生生物甲烷是未来关键的低碳燃料之一。在国家天然气网络中分配生物甲烷为减少热、电和可再生燃料的碳足迹提供了一个重要机会。对2020年沼气产量的估计是巨大的，但是需要降低天然气生产成本，以增加可经济地用于电网注入的沼气量。沼气升级是生物甲烷生产成本的重要组成部分。该项目将研究C-Capture （CCL）沼气升级过程的规模扩大和成本降低的可行性，以提高电网注入经济性。CCL开发了一系列专利的无胺二氧化碳分离溶剂，大大降低了能源消耗，降低了腐蚀，减少了环境足迹，同时与最先进的技术相比，资本成本也较低。

Renewable biomethane is one of the key low carbon fuels of the future. Distributing biomethane in the national gas grid presents a major opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint of heat, electricity and renewable fuel. Estimates for biogas output in 2020 are significant, however there is a need for lower gas production costs to increase the amount of biogas that can be economically utilised for grid injection. Biogas upgrading represents a significant part of the production cost of biomethane. This project will look at the feasibility of scale up and cost reduction of C-Capture's (CCL) biogas upgrading process for improved grid injection economics. CCL has developed a range of patented amine-free CO2 separation solvents with drastically reduced energy use, lower corrosion and smaller environmental footprint, while also having a low capital cost as compared to the state-of-the-art.
