The project BioP2M came to a close in June 2019 after a consortium of stakeholders in the field of energy transition worked together to research the diverse role of Methane. In this report the results are presented and future plans are discussed.

Excess of renewable electricity from wind turbines or solar panels is used for electrolysis of water. To store this renewable energy as methane, the hydrogen is fed to an anaerobic digester to stimulate biological methanation by hydrogenotrophic methanogens. This workpackage focusses on the best ways …

The Bio-P2G-program (Bio-Power to Gas) at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences evaluates the technologic feasibility of the biological reduction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen to methane (biomethanation: 1 CO2 + 4 H2 -> CH4 + 2 H2O) Chemically, this process is known as the Sabatier reaction, but …
