Biomethanation of the marine algae Tetraselmis

Biomethanation of algae is an elegant way to convert solar energy into a chemical fuel, i.e. methane. The microbiological process of methanogenesis is leading to a reliable technology. Favorable running conditions were elicited by experiments at the laboratory scale. The process is being developed at the 1-m/sup 3/ scale at Lamezia (Italy). From these experiments, conceptual parameters for a full-scale demonstration plant are calculated.
