Techno Economic Analysis for Production of Renewable Natural Gas and Value-added Chemicals from Forest Biomass Residues

Summary

This document outlines a cooperative research project focused on making the production of renewable natural gas (RNG) and value-added chemicals from forest biomass economically viable. The approach involves demonstrating an innovative, integrated pilot-scale process that converts forest biomass into methane-rich RNG and higher alcohols using gasification, catalytic conversion, and hydrate-based separation. The CRADA for this techno-economic analysis and process development is completed, with initial testing indicating successful yields and a potential to achieve the target production cost for RNG.
