Biological Methanation

Basics

• Often abbreviated as Bio-Methanation
• Conversion of Organic Matter and/or various gasses to Methane
• In the context of this page, it will be about conversion of various gasses to methane in a Power-to-Gas or Biorefining context

Efficiency

• Need to find data on hydrogen (or hydroxy mix) to methane conversion efficiency/waste + the speed in which this happens, if multiple "passes" of the gass are needed etc
• Oxygen is not used it seems, just Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide, could probably send it to a tank for use in a Oxy-Fuel Torch etc
