Projektbeschreibung
Kostengünstig und dezentral Wasserstoff aus Biogas erzeugen
Die Wasserstofferzeugung (H2) aus CO2-armen Abfallquellen kann dazu beitragen, das Energiesystem nachhaltig zu dekarbonisieren. Biogas, das auf Abfalldeponien und durch anaerobe Vergärung organischer Abfälle einschließlich Klärschlamm erzeugt wird, ist ein vielversprechender Rohstoff. Der Plan des EU-finanzierten Projekts BIOROBURplus besagt, den Technologie-Reifegrad eines in einem früheren Projekt entwickelten direkten oxidativen Biogas-Dampfreformers zur nachhaltigen, dezentralen Erzeugung von hochreinem H2 aus Biogas ohne vorherige CO2-Entfernung voranzubringen. Das Ziel des Teams ist eine sehr hohe Energieeffizienz bei der Umwandlung von Biogas in H2. Dazu wird mit technischer Innovation, die zu einer erhöhten internen Wärmerückgewinnung führt; sowohl Druck- als auch Niedertemperatur-Wärmerückgewinnung und der Nutzung von Prozessabgasen zur Bereitstellung der Wärme für die beiden vorgenannten Prozesse gearbeitet.
Ziel
BioROBURplus builds upon the closing FCH JU BioROBUR project (direct biogas oxidative steam reformer) to develop an entire pre-commercial fuel processor delivering 50 Nm3/h (i.e. 107 kg/d) of 99.9% hydrogen from different biogas types (landfill gas, anaerobic digestion of organic wastes, anaerobic digestion of wastewater-treatment sludges) in a cost-effective manner.
The energy efficiency of biogas conversion into H2 will exceed 80% on a HHV basis, due to the following main innovations:
1) increased internal heat recovery enabling minimisation of air feed to the reformer based on structured cellular ceramics
coated with stable and easily recyclable noble metal catalysts with enhanced coking resistance; 2) a tailored pressure-temperature-swing adsorption (PTSA) capable of exploiting both pressure and low T heat recovery from the processor to
drive H2 separation from CO2 and N2; 3) a recuperative burner based on cellular ceramics capable of exploiting the low
enthalpy PTSA-off-gas to provide the heat needed at points 1 and 2 above.
The complementary innovations already developed in BioROBUR (advanced modulating air-steam feed control system for coke growth control; catalytic trap hosting WGS functionality and allowing decomposition of incomplete reforming products; etc.) will allow to fully achieve the project objectives within the stringent budget and time constraints set by the call.
Prof. Debora Fino, the coordinator of the former BioROBUR project, will manage, in an industrially-oriented perspective, the work of 11 partners with complementary expertise: 3 universities (POLITO, KIT, SUPSI), 3 research centres (IRCE, CPERI, DBI), 3 SMEs (ENGICER, HST, MET) and 2 large companies (ACEA, JM) from 7 different European Countries.
A final test campaign is foreseen at TRL 6 to prove targets achievement, catching the unique opportunity offered by ACEA to
exploit three different biogas types and heat integration with an anaerobic digester generating the biogas itself.
