Catalyst for the upgrading of raw biogas
A Spanish public research organisation has developed a catalyst for the reaction of methanation of the carbon dioxide of biogas, which shows high levels of conversion per volume of catalyst, allowing the direct reaction, only in one step. The catalyst has been tested in real biogas, reaching a final gas composition that meets the specifications for being injected into the natural gas grid. Energetic companies are being sought to collaborate and use the catalyst through a patent licence agreement.
