Demonstration of biogas conversion into synthetic methane with containerised plants. CO2 from biogas is converted into synthetic methane with hydrogen from alkaline electrolysis. A novel two-stage microstructured reactor is used. The reactor is evaporation-cooled and produces high-temperature steam to increase the overall conversion efficiency.
