Due to the increasng integration of stochastic renewable like photovoltaics and wind energy into the electricity generation, the demand foe balacing the electrucuty supply and demand over spatial and temporal distances is increasing. For the future, even the seasonal storage of electricity may be necessary. Here, the production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) from domestic resources such as biomass and coal can play an important role. Moreover, in the times where the electricity production from renewables exceeds the actual demand in the electricity grid (a situation that today occasionally is observed in Central Europe and is expected to be more common in future), producing SNG could utilize the excess electricity instead of curtailing photovoltaics or wind turbines. Synthetic Natural Gas from Coal, Dry Biomass and Power to Gas Applications aims at a suitable overview over the different pathways to introduce SNG. The first four chapters cover the main process steps during the conversion of coal and dry biomass to SNG: gasfication, gas cleaning, methanation, and gas upgrading. These chapters highlight the main technology options and the impact of technology choice for the downstream processes and the complete process chain. In these chapters, especially in the chapter on methanation reactors, the state of the art coal to SNG processes are discussed in detail. The following chapters decribe a number of novel processes foe the production of SNG; these processes comprise those which are already in operation and processe which are still under development. The book enables the reader to understand and distinguish the different processes avaible. It supports engineers (and scientists) in companies, industry, and academia in conceptualizing efficient and sustainable energy systems and enables them to find the best solution for their needs in planning or running SNG plants.
