ABSTRACT 
Biogas can be cleaned and upgraded to be used as a vehicle fuel, injection into the gas grid, 
heat and power generation. The carbon dioxide removed from the process can be used be 
utilized by industry. The main biogas upgrading technologies in Europe are Pressure 
Swing Adsorption and Water Scrubbing. The first objective is to compare the economics 
of small, medium and large scale biogas upgrading plants in Europe. The second objective 
is to evaluate the technical feasibility of small scale biogas upgrading in Europe. This 
study used a self-designed questionnaire which is sent to biogas plant owners/operators. 
The questionnaire aims to assess the technical issues, process conditions, biogas 
production, the upgrading system, energy use and economics. It also included an in-depth 
literature review. 
 
It was evaluated that the economies of scale favour larger biogas plants where the desired 
scale should be between 500 and 1,400 Nm3
/hour of raw biogas. It is also not economically 
feasible for biogas plant smaller than 150 Nm3
/hour to injection into the grid or for 
commercial fuel stations. However, small scale biogas upgrading can be used to locally 
within small communities to heat, electric and vehicle farm which could be for example 
used on farm scale locations. The economics for smaller plants had much higher specific 
costs that the larger biogas upgrading plants. The economies of scale therefore, show that 
the larger plants are favoured for producing higher quality gas, lower methane loses, higher 
plant efficiency and higher profitability. The profit per Nm3 of upgraded biogas should be 
around 0.35-0.45 € to achiever the payback time of 5 years with small scale plants. This 
means that the cost price for biogas upgrading for small scale plants should be less than 
0.20-0.30 €/ Nm3

Technoeconomic analysis of an integrated microalgae photobioreactor, biodiesel and biogas production facility

Technoeconomic analysis of an integrated microalgae photobioreactor, biodiesel and biogas production facility

Abstract

As fossil fuel prices increase and environmental concerns gain prominence, the development of alternative fuels from biomass has become more important. Biodiesel produced from microalgae is becoming an attractive alternative to share the role of petroleum. Currently it appears that the production of microalgal biodiesel is not economically viable in current environment because it costs more than conventional fuels. Therefore, a new concept is introduced in this article as an option to reduce the total production cost of microalgal biodiesel. The integration of biodiesel production system with methane production via anaerobic digestion is proved in improving the economics and sustainability of overall biodiesel stages. Anaerobic digestion of microalgae produces methane and further be converted to generate electricity. The generated electricity can surrogate the consumption of energy that require in microalgal cultivation, dewatering, extraction and transesterification process. From theoretical calculations, the electricity generated from methane is able to power all of the biodiesel production stages and will substantially reduce the cost of biodiesel production (33% reduction). The carbon emissions of biodiesel production systems are also reduced by approximately 75% when utilizing biogas electricity compared to when the electricity is otherwise purchased from the Victorian grid. The overall findings from this study indicate that the approach of digesting microalgal waste to produce biogas will make the production of biodiesel from algae more viable by reducing the overall cost of production per unit of biodiesel and hence enable biodiesel to be more competitive with existing fuels.

Dear Dr Pannirselvam,

As a registrant of Biotechnology for Biofuels, we wanted to let you know about our latest thematic series from the 20th International Symposium on Alcohol Fuels (ISAF2013).

Guest edited by Emile van Zyl (University of Stellenbosch), the thematic series highlights the most recent advances in alcohol technologies and their applications in developing sustainable biofuel options for the future. This includes advances in conversion technologies for a wide variety of feedstocks and the developments in microbes for raw starch and lignocellulose conversion. Remember to keep an eye out for the commentary paper from Lee Lynd et al, coming soon, on the potential role of bioenergy in Africa's transformation to a more sustainable continent.

Below are some highlights from the series:
