Bio SNG

Research funding project

Methane derived from solid biofuels is an important option for achieving the political goal for an increased use of alternative motor fuels. The biomass has already been demonstrated on the small scale. And methane can easily be feed into the existing Natural Gas infrastructure, and can then be used with avialable technology, in particular within vehicle fleets. The objective of this project is it to realise and demonstrate the production of Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) from solid biofuels within an innovative, large scale gasification plant which is in operation in Austria and to applicate this motor fuel in energy efficient vehicles (WTW). The Bio-SNG project aims as a very promising example for an increased exploitation of the huge potential of solid biofuels for the use withing the transport sector.
