Bio-based LNG

Bio-liquified natural gas (LNG), a renewable alternative to fossil LNG, is derived from the liquefaction of biomethane, a gas that can be produced from the degradation of biomass, either following chemical or thermal process routes. However, current production is still limited and can be scaled up significantly. Biomethane can provide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission savings across many sectors like power generation, transport (in compressed or liquefied form for the heavy-duty road and maritime sectors), high temperature heat applications in industry, and heating and cooking in buildings. It can be produced from biomass and waste following three main routes:
