Production of Green Hydrogen from Pig Farming Biogas: Production Routes, Technical-Economic Feasibility, Barriers and Policy Proposals
Short Introductive summary
Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element in the universe. It is abundant on the Earth’s surface, as it is found forming part of water molecules, molecular formula H2O, it is also found in hydrocarbon molecules, for example, in petroleum, and in many other organic substances in nature. However, due to the fact that hydrogen is not found in isolation on our planet, chemical processes are necessary to extract it. Nowadays, with scientific advances, it is possible to extract hydrogen from several sources, such as the biogas generated by the biological treatment of animal waste from pig farming, which is the object of this Project. Currently, the world production of hydrogen comes from synthesis gas, which is a gaseous mixture formed by carbon monoxide (CO) and Hydrogen (H2), also called Syngas, produced from fossil fuels, mainly from natural gas, through a process called Methane Steam Reforming. Hydrogen can also be produced by water electrolysis.This Project aims to develop a general review of technologies for the treatment and energy use of waste from pig farming, focusing on the use of modern technological routes for the production of biogas, biomethane and green hydrogen.
