Power to Methane technologies through renewable H2 and CO2 from biogas: The case of Sardinia

A Power-to-Methane system based on a Biological Hydrogen Methanation (BHM) process using the CO2 produced by a biogas upgrading process and the H2 produced by an alkaline electrolyser was analysed in this work. The electrolyser can be fed by the electrical energy produced by a dedicated PV plant or...
