Tiivistelmä
This thesis aims to study a newly designed system for the production of biomethane by the utilization of the CO2 gas emitted into the atmosphere at Stormossen Oy, a waste management plant in Vaasa, a western coastal city of Finland. This can be achieved by studying how to use this CO2 and convert it again into methane with green hydrogen production and storage from renewable resources.
Literature research has been done to obtain information about the current biomethane production process that the company has; the common processes of carbon dioxide usage and hydrogen production and storage and its maturity and availability, especially by electrolysis methods; and to study electricity prices to determine its viability.
As a result, an analysis of the most appropriate electrolysis method for the production of green hydrogen and the best conversion into biomethane technique has been determined. Regarding the results discussed in this thesis, Stormossen Oy’s plant can therefore decide to invest in this type of system for the desired increase of biomethane production, by implementing the methodology and technology analysed.
