The present disclosure relates to an integrated
plant for production of renewable
hydrogen and biomethane, comprising a
biomass gasification unit configured to convert organic feedstock into
product gas; a
methanation unit coupled to the
biomass gasification unit to process
product gas and produce biomethane; an
electrolysis unit configured to produce renewable
hydrogen from water using
renewable energy sources with more energy efficiency conversion; a gas storage unit for the
safe storage of biomethane and renewable
hydrogen; and a
control unit for optimizing energy usage, gas flow, and overall
process efficiency, increasing the energy efficiency of gasification, by low and medium
enthalpy energy recovery for pre-treatment
biomass, wherein the biomethane and renewable hydrogen are combined in a fuel
cell conversion unit to generate
clean water as a by-product. The
oxygen produced by
electrolysis is supplied to the gasification unit, the
thermal energy recovered from the internal process units is used to preheat the
electrolysis feed water, and the water produced by the fuel
cell conversion is recovered and reused for electrolysis, thus forming closed internal cycles of
mass and energy flows. The integrated facility offers an efficient and flexible solution for the production and use of renewable hydrogen and biomethane.
