Economic Assessment of Biomethane Supply System based on Natural Gas Infrastructure
Open accessAbstract
Upgraded biogas injected into a natural gas grid may provide considerable increase of renewable energy share within the natural gas-fired systems. The goal of the study is to determine the costs of biomethane produced in distributed biogas plants and injected into the natural gas grid. The analyzed system includes biogas upgrading and transport to the natural gas pipeline including the infrastructure. The total costs of biomethane production for 3 different scenarios and 5 biogas upgrading methods are determined. The results show that under the most favourable scenario the injected biomethane is approximately 19% more expensive than the natural gas.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
