About this ebook

Biomethane: A Sustainable Bioenergy Towards Net-Zero Emissions is a comprehensive resource on the production, purification, and utilization of biomethane as a renewable energy source and its role in the global energy transition and decarbonization efforts. It provides an in-depth exploration of the technological, environmental, economic, and policy aspects of biomethane production, with an emphasis on producing high quality biomethane at an industrial scale. The book is divided into five sections, beginning with an overview of biomethane production from organic waste feedstocks, innovative production methods, and recent technological advancements. It covers various biogas purification techniques, including biological processes, membrane technology, and co-fermentation strategies, to enhance biomethane quality. The book also includes detailed life cycle assessments and economic evaluations to assess the sustainability and financial viability of biomethane production. Additionally, it presents global case studies and best practices, providing practical insights and lessons learned for effective implementation and scaling of biomethane technologies. Biomethane: A Sustainable Bioenergy Towards Net-Zero Emissions is an essential resource for engineers, researchers, scientists, and practitioners working on biogas and biomethane, as well as graduate and post-graduate students in academia. It will also be of interest to individuals working in climate change and those seeking a broad understanding of biomethane's role in the energy transition. This book brings together experts from across the globe, offering a unique blend of scientific, technological, legislative, and practical insights to advance the field of biomethane and support the energy transition.• Presents a comprehensive coverage of the sustainable production and use of biomethane• Covers the technological, environmental, economic and policy aspects of biomethane• Investigates the nexus of technology, society, environment and economics of biomethane in the energy transition• Presents a comprehensive overview with critical analysis of the contributions of biomethane to net zero emission• Provides insights for government and policy makers on the integration of biomethane in local economies• Discusses the challenges in biomethane production and consumption in various parts of the world, including in the developing world
