Integral management of the biogas from landfills for use as vehicle fuel

Solution Title (in English)

Sectors

Circular economy, Value chains, Air pollutants

Markets

Transportation businesses, Biogas industry

Description

The project aims to produce biomethane using a new method for upgrading biogas from landfill sites. The resulting fuel will fulfil the required quality standards for use in light-weight and heavy-duty vehicles. The project plans to demonstrate the technical performance of a cost-effective solution for improving biogas production and recovery from landfills. This is based on new techniques for exploiting waste cells, together with an innovative technology (vacuum pressure swing adsorption) for upgrading biogas. This integrated solution will produce an alternative biofuel (almost 1 600 million m3/year of biomethane) from landfills, a ground-breaking sustainable source, improving air quality and helping to green road transport.
