Overview
• Biogas Concept and History in Linköping• The Biogas System• Biogas Energy and Material Flows• How to make the ‘system’ better
– Biofuel Synergies– Synergies with other Industries
• Biogas Applications• Barriers to Biogas Expansion (Reverse Salients)• Future Applications

The Biogas Concept
=
4
Brief History of Linköping and Biogas
• Increasing soot and pollution from diesel buses• Possible natural gas pipe coming• Make use of wastes Biogas• Partnership with SCAN and Tekniska Verken• Biogas Fleet of Buses• Vehicle Conversions• New biogas concepts….
5
Linköping’s Success
• Persistence by politicians• The company Tekniska Verken
– Economic strength (500 million Euros turnover, 45 million Euros profit)
– Independent from traditional sectors and innovative – Waste, water, energy etc in the same company
• Organisation for integrating agricultural, food, waste, transport and energy sectors

How to make the biogas process better? (Environmental Performance)
• Make use of waste heat and electricity• Find further raw materials and by-products• Discover markets for outputs• Expand the infrastructure• Better the process
9
Synergies with other biofuels(My Research)
• Biofuels have many inputs, outputs and by-products
• These technologies are linked

Ethanol Synergies Example
Outputs Used and to Be used include:• Stillage• Syrup• Biomass• Raw Gas (Biogas) from WWT at Ethanol Facilities• Raw Gas, Combustion

Synergies with other industry
• CO2 = very attractive• Digestate Pellets, Fodder, Fertilizer• Reduce environmental impacts and fuel use

• Replace Chemical Fertilizers
• Recycle Manure and other agricultural products
• Certified, KRAV and other marks
Biofertilizer
16
Biogas Applications
Major Uses for Biogas• Vehicle Fuel• Heating and Cooking
• Electricity Production• Hydrogen Production (Fuel Cells)
Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
17
Bi-Fuel Vehicle System
• 2 Tanks (Gasoline <Petrol> and CNG)• Choice Between CNG or Biogas and Gasoline• Automatic Switch and/or Manual Switch
18
Emissions vs. other Fuels
• Every emission lowered (except methane)• Much cleaner, More efficient
19
Biogas Heating and Cooking

Electricity Production
• Incentives in Germany Electricity
21
What is holding back biogas development?
• Fueling Infrastructure– Filling Stations– Biogas Grid
• Biogas Cleaning and Refining• Vehicle Availability• Regional Applicability (Hard to Transport)
Reverse Salients: Critical problems limiting the development

Fueling and Infrastructure
“Simple, yet Complex….”
23
Fueling Options
24
Connection to European/Swedish Gas-Grid
• Connect to grid• Blend biogas w/
natural gas• METHANE!• Allow for use• Expanded Market• More electricity and
heating applications
25
Biogas Cleaning
CO2
Methane
• Heavy Research• Large Energy Inputs• Example: Cryogenic Separation
26
Handling of Digestate
Major setback to biogas development• What to do with wastes…
– No one wants the biogas wastes– Can it be used for feed?– Is it toxic/volatile/harmful?
• Drying the digestate?– Pelletize the waste for energy– Pellets for Fodder?– Drying would decrease transport costs

Conclusion: Pros and ConsAdvantages Disadvantages
Use in Vehicles
• Bi-fuel Vehicle (Gas or Methane)• Clean burning fuel
• Expensive Tanks• Increased Weight
Infrastructure • Can be combined with current methane distribution
• Not common infrastructure for vehicles• Special pumping needed• Hard to transport
Environmental • Reduced GHG emissions• Methane emissions captured• No crops or plantations required• Less nitrogen fertilizers required if byproducts used
• Methane Slip?
• CO2
Other • Free Parking Permits• Made from any organic waste
• Costly initial investments
34
Conclusions
• Biogas system depends heavily upon incentives and legislation
• Infrastructural capacity will increase biogas production
• Sweden, more focus on vehicle fuel• Synergies will improve and expand market• Volvo and Saab…
