BIOSYNGAS aims at improving many aspects of biogas production plants in Norway. <\/strong><\/p>\n Biogas plants face numerous challenges most of them are related to the so called digestate, a by-product that should be exploited as it contains important nutrients that act as a fertilizer in agriculture. It is a wet\/solid fraction that is generated after digesting the organic waste and producing biomethane. This fraction could contain micro-\/macro plastics and heavy metals which gives challenges to its utilisation. Also, it is available in large quantities making its transport quite costly and contributes negatively to the plant economy.<\/p>\n BIOSYNGAS aims at solving these challenges by thermally treating this fraction and producing a range of by-products that will help improving the circular economy of nutrients in wastes. By integrating the thermal treatment with existing biogas plant, it will be possible to increase biomethane production and overall process efficiency. Another benefit from including a thermal treatment step is that it broadens the type of organic waste that could be treated in biogas plants, increasing biogas production furthermore.<\/p>\n
