Design of Gas Disperser for Power to Gas Processes in Bubble Columns"

Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talkscience-to-science

Description

Power-to-gas technology aims to cost-effectively and efficiently store renewable energy in the gas grid for a longer period of time, while transitioning to a climate-neutral gas grid. Methane with its high calorific value (36 MJ m-3), serves as a promising candidate for this process, doubling as a fundamental chemical for industrial applications. Catalytic methanation stands as a well-established method for this conversion; however, its reliance on high reaction temperatures (200 to 400°C) and expensive metal catalysts render it energy-intensive and economically burdensome. An emerging alternative is biological methanation utilizing archaea, enabling operation at lower temperatures (50 to 60°C). Additionally, the adoption of bubble columns over continuous stirred tank reactors presents another energy-saving improvement.
