Biogas, being rich in methane, can be used as a fuel for various end uses such as electricity generation, compressed natural gas (CNG), production of liquid fuels, industrial heating, etc. CO2 is the major contaminant in biogas (30–50%) along with other impurities such as NH3, H2S, and water. CO2 in the biogas decreases the heating value of biogas. Natural gas pipelines and vehicle use require high purity (> 95%) CH4. There are many commercial techniques available for CO2 removal from biogas such as such water scrubbing (WS), chemical scrubbing (CS) using …
