Projects
| Pilot-SBG - Bioresources and hydrogen to methane as a fuel – conceptual design of a pilot-scale plant (2018-2026) |
| Funding: Federal Ministry für Digital and Transport |
| The research objective of the project is to operate a pilot plant in which biogas can be used for the thermocatalytic synthesis of biomethane as a fuel. To this end, work is being carried out in the field of synthesis gas processes on a robust connection between gas cleaning and catalysts. For the specific use of the produced methane gas (SNG), a compression and refuelling system is being set up at the site, thus producing CNG for the mobility sector.

| H2Verg – hydrogen from biomass gasification (2022 - 2025) |
| Funding: Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (Project Management Jülich); FKZ:03EI5445A |
| The aim of the project is to analyse and compare various gasification technologies in terms of their suitability for decentralised hydrogen production. To this end, possible technical processes for producing hydrogen from biogenic residues and waste materials will first be identified. Suitable separation and cleaning processes are defined to achieve the desired product gas quality. Subsequently, the minimum effort and the most important performance indicators (e.g. efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions) are determined for various scenarios in order to provide the required hydrogen.

| KonditorGas – Industrial process heat generation through catalytic conditioning of synthesis gases (2020 – 2023) |
| Funding: Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, FKZ: 03EI5417A |
| The aim of the project is to replace the predominant use of fossil fuels for industrial process heating with climate-friendly biogenic synthesis gases produced by the thermochemical gasification of biogenic residues and waste materials. To this end, the working group is setting up a test plant consisting of a commercially available air gasifier and a gas conditioning unit, including a partial methanisation system, and recording relevant measurement data.

| Fermenthen– Alkene production from biogas to utilise surplus electricity (2016-2020) |
| Funding: Sächsische Aufbaubank (SAB); FKZ: 100244827 |
| The Fermenthen project, which was completed in 2020, investigated the use of biogas to provide alkenes as basic chemicals. In the area of synthesis gas processes, the conversion of purified biogas with (electrolysis) hydrogen was investigated. |
