ABSTRACT
Within the framework of sustainable development, today burning biogas via a flare cannot be considered a long-term solution. Moreover, the ever-increasing energy costs constitute another important driver for wastewater treatment activities. Furthermore, although cogeneration has been widely developed, other emerging more promising biogas end-use routes must now also be considered. Within this context, the goal of this study is to assess opportunities for different biogas end-uses, in particular: fuel cells, conventional cogeneration and car motors. The focus of this poster is the biogas treatment, and the objective is to establish a “mapping” of adequate technologies available and their relevance depending on the biogas end-use, based on technical, economic and environmental criteria. This study was carried out by literature research, and carrying out audits of industrial or pilot plants.
