AD has been promoted and implemented worldwide, but at widely differing scales, influenced by the availability and location of feedstocks. In developing countries, feedstock arises from small- to medium-scale agriculture and agro-processing operations, as well as from household and municipal waste. Biogas produced from residues from agro-processing facilities may be used for on-site heat and power, but the lack of a gas and electricity grid infrastructure can limit opportunities to distribute gas or generated electricity to wider users.

  • Life Cycle Analysis of an Integrated Biogas-Based Agriculture Energy
    Life Cycle Analysis of an Integrated Biogas-Based Agriculture Energy System by Siduo Zhang B. Sc., Nankai University, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Chemical and Biological Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) February, 2013 © Siduo Zhang, 2013 i ABSTRACT Large quantity of manure is generated in the livestock industry in British Columbia (BC) and natural gas is being consumed intensively in BC’s agriculture sector. We proposed to integrate the livestock farms and the greenhouses to promote waste-to-energy and waste-to-material exchanges following the principles of Industrial Ecology (IE). Natural gas consumptions on farms are replaced by renewable biogas generated from anaerobic digestion (AD) of farm wastes (mainly livestock manure). CO2 for plant enrichment in greenhouses is supplied by biogas combustion flue gases and the residues (digestate) from digesters are used as animal bedding materials, plant growing media, and liquid fertilizers. An integrated dairy farm and greenhouse was first modeled. Co-digestion of manure with a variety of organic farm wastes was further evaluated with an aim to enhance the biogas production. To address the problems of too much digestate surplus and high CO2 demand for greenhouse CO2 enrichment, the mushroom farm was further introduced into the integrated system. In this way, the digestate surplus can be used as a growing media for growing mushrooms and the CO2–rich ventilation air from the mushroom can be directed to the greenhouse for CO2 enrichment. A Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) was conducted to quantify the environmental impacts of each of the proposed cases in comparison to the conventional agriculture practices.

This work aims to synthesise a large-scale bio-hydrogen network in which its feedstock, i.e., bio-methane, is originated from landfill gas and palm oil mill effluent (POME). Landfill gas goes through a biogas upgrader where high-purity bio-methane is produced, while POME is converted to bio-methane using anaerobic digestor (AD). The generated bio-methane is then distributed to the corresponding hydrogen sink (e.g., oil refinery) through pipelines, and subsequently converted into hydrogen via steam methane reforming (SMR) process.
