Bio-MeGaFuel Project

"Bio-MeGaFuel" means "Bio Methanol Production via Chemical Looping Gasification Coupled with Membrane Reactors" and funded by the European Union. The goal of Bio-MeGaFuel is to establish a novel efficient, and scalable process to convert low-value biogenic residues and organic waste to biomethanol through chemical looping gasification coupled with membrane reactors. The process is based on the novel chemical looping gasification (CLG) concept for producing syngas from biogenic residues and membrane reactors for methanol synthesis from syngas. The full chain process will be studied in the project, with novel research and developments in all areas leading to a highly versatile and efficient process. The consortium consists of a good mix of universities (2), research institutes (3), end-users and technology providers (2) who individually will investigate and enhance a particular process-step, but together will integrate the full-chain Bio-MeGaFuel system to a highly economical and efficient process for methanol production with zero emissions.
