Summary
Substitution of fossil energy by biogene resources is one of the goals of Switzerland and of the EU on the way to a more sustainable energy policy. Production of Bio-SNG (substitute natural gas) from ligno cellulosic resources is one possible technology for achieving this goal. A pilot and demonstration unit was built (size: 1 MW Bio-SNG), which was successfully commissioned. It was demonstrated that production of Bio-SNG fulfilling natural gas pipeline specification in this semi industrial size is possible. Furthermore, conventional CNG cars were operated using the produced gas without any negative impact.
