While the German market for the upgrade and feed-in of biogas<br />
is relatively young, the technologies for this special gas application<br />
have been in use already for decades in other European<br />
countries. according to recent research by the Fraunhofer<br />
Institute for Wind Energy and Energy system Technology, more<br />
than 90 biomethane plants ore operating all over Europe. out<br />
of these, according to the information available to the German<br />
Energy agency, 53 feed biogas upgraded to local natural gas<br />
quality into the grid by mid 2010.<br />

regarding the total number of projects realized so far, pressure<br />
swing adsorption and pressurized water scrubbing technologies<br />
are dominating the European market [see figure]. In<br />
full-scale applications, physical adsorption technologies (with<br />
organic dissolvers) so far have been installed only in Germany<br />
and switzerland. Chemical adsorption technologies (with<br />
organic dissolvers) have been applied only in Germany, sweden<br />
and switzerland. Membrane applications so far have been used<br />
only in austria and the netherlands.
