IEA Bioenergy - Task 37: Reduction of methane emissions from biogas systems and landfills
Methane is emitted from a wide range of industrial, agricultural and waste management processes. The capture and treatment of emissions are not always technically and, under current conditions, not always economically feasible. A particular challenge is posed by waste gas streams with low methane concentrations, and low and variable volumetric flowrates. This report presents process technologies for methane oxidation, with a focus on processes that can convert waste gases with low methane concentrations emitted at low flow rates. The report includes examples of real-world applications of methane oxidation technologies.
