KIT team produces synthetic natural gas from waste wood; used in natural gas vehicles

Green Car Congress

Biogas facilities produce renewable gas mainly by fermenting biological waste. In countries with a large forestry sector, such as Finland or Sweden, there is a high potential for the production of SNG from waste wood. This mix can then be converted into high-quality methane by methanation. on KIT’s Campus North.
