Gas Technology Institute Issues Biomethane Report
The Gas Technology Institute's recently released report, Pipeline Quality Biomethane: North American Guidance Document for Introduction of Dairy Waste Derived Biomethane into Existing Natural Gas Network provides a comprehensive study and guidance document for anaerobic digester developers interested in producing pipeline quality renewable natural gas. The report is also a useful, detailed overview of all of the issues involving producing pipeline quality biomethane from dairy manure.

Pipeline Quality Biomethane: North American Guidance Document
for Interchangeability of Dairy Waste Derived Biomethane
This effort, GTI project number 20614, provides guidance needed for the introduction of biomethane from dairy waste into existing pipelines. To support this effort, three areas of focus have been captured, with independent reports:
- Executive Summary and Acknowledgments – (GTI-09/0011)
- Task 1 Final Report: Technology Investigation, Assessment, and Analysis – (GTI-09/0012)
- Task 2 Final Report: Laboratory Testing and Analysis –(GTI-09/0013)
- Task 3 Final Report: Guidance Document for Introduction of Dairy Waste Biomethane – (GTI-09/0014)
-
GTI is also implementing a similar gas testing and quality program for biogas/biomethane derived from landfills and waste water treatment plants to provide guidance for a growing green energy market from these biomass sources. Results from this project are anticipated at the end of 2009. -
Agri-Waste Energy participated in this project with the Gas Technology Institute (GTI). And, GTI has provided the following letter supporting Agri-Waste Energy’s approach to “gas clean-up”:
