Abstract
This paper presents the design details of a biogas gas plant and fuel cell installation that will provide a practical solution on an island (and
be applicable in other remote and rural areas) where connection to the grid can be expensive, and where biofuels can be produced on site at
no significant extra cost.
In situ use of biomass anic waste streams have the potential to provide the key to energy recovery and sustainability from biodegradable
waste. The scheme described in this paper meets the new EU regulations covering (i) the landfill directive, (ii) the animal by-products regulations,
and (iii) the biowaste directive. Traditionally biogas fuels have been used bustion engines for electric power generation. However, there
are now clear indications that given the current developments in reformer technologies, hydrogen gas can be produced from methane-derived
anaerobic digestion anic waste material—much of which is currently land filled. Hence, when utilized in fuel cells this offers the prospect
of achieving higher generating efficiencies, and
