It is expected that the biomethane can be delivered to the gas grid from the third quarter of 2022. In a few efficient steps, the membranes separate the methane from the CO2 and other components. The methane content of the biogas is brought to the desired level, after which biomethane is the end-result. Regional collaboration.
