Abstract

Fuel cells are highly efficient and very low emissions power generation systems. The molten carbonate (MCFCs) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are emerging in the field of stationary power production as a true alternative to combustion heat engines for the production of electrical power, cogeneration, and tri-generation. They can be fed with different kinds of fuels including biogas. This chapter illustrates the characteristic of biogas depending on the different substrates used in anaerobic digestion process. The processes for upgrading the biogas to biomethane are also treated describing the methodologies to removal several compounds, such as air, O2, water, and CO2. This chapter reviews the techniques for H2S removal (the most abundant harmful compound) during digestion and after digestion. Particular attention is given to the adsorption process for removal of sulphur compounds and siloxanes, describing in detail the adsorbing material proposed in literature, such as activate carbons and zeolites.
