"For more efficiency in small to medium scale biomethane production." 

Record Biomap - European project about biomethane at small and medium scalefunded through Horizon 2020

 

The Biomethane Map - A network to support small to medium scale biomethane production

The Record Biomap project built up a platform for all stakeholders who work on and investigate in innovative technology solutions for substrate pre-treatment, digestion processes and biogas upgrading systems to achieve a cost and energy efficient production of biomethane in small to medium scale applications.

Biogas plant owners and operators who are interested in an upgrade of their small to medium scale biogas plants to biomethane applications will be able to find technology providers and other relevant actors on the Biomethane Map. 

This platform was developed within the EU-funded Project "Record Biomap" to bridge the gap between research and market.

Note: Due to technical restrictions of the website, the Biomethane Map cannot be displayed in its original version anymore. However, below list contains all technology developers, who have been collected within the project.

Profiles and technology descriptions (TD) can be downloaded by following the corresponding links.
