Biogas from the anaerobic digestion of organic waste and wastewater is regarded as one of the most promising renewable energy vectors to partially address the current global environmental and energy challenges. However, CO2 and H2S, along with other biogas pollutants, need to be removed to enlarge the scope of biogas applications. Membrane technology is currently undergoing a rapid development driven by the synthesis of new polymer materials with promising properties and enhanced performance, and is set to play an increasingly important role in reducing the environmental impact and cost of industrial biogas upgrading. Mem4BIOCH4 aims at fostering industrial biogas upgrading by engineering low-cost and efficient membrane modules based on innovative polymer materials with superior gas separation performance in order to enhance biogas valorisation via production of high-quality biomethane. Mem4BIOCH4 will focus on overcoming the current limitations of membranes in order to support a low-cost upgrading of raw biogas via CO2 and H2S separation using novel polymer materials. In addition, emphasis will be also put on the CO2 and N2 separation from biogas produced in the anaerobic digestion of domestic wastewater, which has not been assessed to date to the best of our knowledge. This multidisciplinary action will have a significant impact in fields such as chemistry (novel monomers with specific structural features), materials science (new polymers with enhanced properties), environmental technology (more sustainable biogas conversion technologies), and economy (low-cost biogas upgrading fostering the biomethane market). Mem4BIOCH4 will bring multiple environmental and economic benefits to society, facilitating the creation of a sustainable and cost-competitive biomethane industry in Europe. This action will be carried out at Valladolid University, with secondments at University of Twente and Biothane (Veolia Water Technologies).ver más
