METHAREN

The EU-funded METHAREN project will demonstrate a cost-effective, sustainable and circular biomethane production system enabling the management of the intermittent renewable energy sources. The newly developed systems will be retrofitted to existing biogas plants and will significantly enhance biomethane production through extracting value out of plant effluents. The project will demonstrate the cost effectiveness and sustainability of the whole production chain from feedstock to injection of biomethane into the grid. All developed systems will be integrated and tested in a pilot site before being operated and further optimised. METHAREN innovations could increase cost effectiveness by at least 20 %, enhance the carbon conversion rate from biowaste to methane more than 80 % and reduce harmful carbon emissions more than 50 %.
