Advanced Process Routes for Synthetic Natural Gas Production from Woody Biomass: A Techno-Economic Comparison

Short Introductive summary

Renewable gases are deemed to play a central role in future energy supply scenarios. The present study suggests advanced process routes for the production of SNG via dual fluidized bed (DFB) gasification and catalytic fluidized bed methanation. This includes advanced DFB gasification, sorption enhanced reforming (SER) and hydrogen addition. The results of the techno-economic analyses show that SER and hydrogen addition could be advantegously applied to SNG production. On the one hand, SER leads to a simpler process layout, less electricity consumption and overall less production costs. On the other hand, hydrogen addition increases the carbon utilization of the biomass, simultaneously sacrificing the economic advantage. Overall, the analysis reveals advantages and disadvantages of advanced SNG production routes.
