From biogas to hydrogen and methanol: electrified reforming opens new opportunities
Research
In this interview, Andrea Nava from the Politecnico di Milano – GECOS Group presents his research on electrified reforming, an innovative technology that expands the potential of biogas valorisation. In addition to producing biomethane, the process enables the production of biohydrogen and biomethanol by integrating renewable energy sources, batteries, and energy storage systems to improve efficiency and operational flexibility. Biohydrogen is a promising solution for decarbonising industrial clusters, while biomethanol is a strategic energy carrier thanks to its ease of storage and transport. However, wider deployment will require lower renewable electricity costs and the development of dedicated infrastructure for biomass and CO₂ logistics.
