REFORGAS

HOW CAN YOU PRODUCE HIGH VALUE-ADDED MOLECULES FROM BIOGAS USING PLASMA TECHNOLOGY AND CHEMICAL CATALYSIS?

GreenWin presents REFORGAS :

REFORGAS proposes a new method for producing high value molecules from biogas
(CO2/CH4 mix) that uses a combination of plasma technology and chemical catalysis.


The use of plasma technology allows for energy to be supplied exclusively by intermittent
renewable electricity. Via this original process, the waste-generated biogas can be
upgraded at low energy cost into high value molecules such as acrylic acid. Acrylic
acid can then be transformed into polymers that can be used in the manufacturing of
a variety of objects. The CO2 contained in the biogas is thus immobilised in the plastics
that we use on a daily basis.


This makes REFORGAS a potential solution for fighting greenhouse effect gas emissions
and therefore global warming, but essentially a new path towards sustainable chemistry.

Les « + » :

  • Solution potentielle pour lutter contre les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et donc contre le réchauffement climatique.
  • Nouvelle voie participant à la chimie durable.
