Italy's Snam and GE-owned Baker Hughes have agreed to assess the feasibility of developing four micro-liquefaction plants across Italy by the end of this year, including making bio-LNG for transportation. Bio-LNG is liquefied biomethane made from the organic fraction of refuse or from agricultural and agro-industrial biomass. The potential overall investment will be between €50m-€80m ($59m-$94m), with the exact sum to be determined depending on results of the study. The April issue of Hydrocarbon Engineering is now available online! In addition to these two companies, other companies are also interested in exploring the possibility of producing biogas using waste products such as food scraps, animal manure, sewage sludge, household waste, etc.
