BioCUBES - Biogenic CO2 capture and utilization from Swiss biogas plants: Technical, economical and environmental analysis.

In the project BioCUBES, we analyze the potential for carbon capture and utilization (CCU) value chains at Swiss biogas plants. As biogas plants emit biogenic CO₂, utilizing this CO₂ can contribute to defossilizing a range of industrial applications. Key objectives include quantifying the biogenic CO₂ emissions at existing biogas plants, estimating the feasible capture potential, analyzing cost-effectiveness of diverse CCU pathways, and assessing the pathways’ climate change impacts by conducting life cycle assessments. We will explore both the current systems and evaluate prospective scenarios, with a focus on expanding manure-based biogas plants and emerging CCU pathways.

This project is funded by the Swiss Federal
Office of Energy and a cooperation with the consulting company external page Planair.
