Biomethane production generally involves the cleaning to remove minor unwanted components of biogases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and moisture (H2O) and upgrading in a process that involves the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) to increase the concentration of CH4 to 95–99% and reduce CO2 concentration to 1–5%, with little or no hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Biomethane gas is a flexible and easy to store fuel having similar properties and applications as natural gas with no need to modify the settings for natural gas devices and equipment. Biomethane can be used for industrial and domestic applications ranging from thermal and power generation and feedstock for processes like the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) for fuel manufacturer and direct power generation in hydrogen or biogas fuel cells like production of green hydrogen. Therefore, biomethane promises to play a leading role in the energy transition through hydrogen, electricity, and other renewable fuels production. Biomethane production by biogas upgrading methods include the pressure swing adsorption, which has an option of temperature swing adsorption, absorption technics based on amine, membrane separation, cryogenic separation, and biological separation. The technology adopted may depend on factors such as costs, quality of products, location, and technology maturity and requirements.
