Project Abstract
Biogas is a renewable gas which is made from biological materials. It can replace natural gas on the network and help to reduce emissions. The main component of biogas is methane (CH4), a powerful but short-lived climate pollutant. Therefore, when CH4 leakages occur in biogas production, it contributes to global warming and reduce the environmental benefits. The aim of this research is to evaluate ways to measure and mitigate CH4 emissions from biogas plants in Ireland. A protocol will be developed to help plant operators minimise CH4 losses from individual plants.
