Abstract

By mimicking the cow, it is now possible to efficiently convert recalcitrant biomass into sustainable green gas. The Artificial Rumen Reactor ensures stable transformation of waste streams into volatile fatty acids, while biological methanation in trickle-bed reactors effectively upgrades biogas to green gas. Integration and further scale-up of this technology provide promising prospects for future-proof, earthquake-free green gas production.
