New Absorbent Natural Gas System Will Store and Transport Biomethane
(Cenergy Solutions/NGV Journal) Cenergy Solutions is introducing a complete adsorbent natural gas (ANG) system to capture, store, transport and utilize biomethane, which will help farms, communities and businesses around the world store and use their biogas, reducing venting and flaring methane. Cenergy has already signed their first licensing agreement with a biogas plant in India which currently makes over two tons of methane per day and is increasing their production to ten tons per day.
It is estimated that 1 trillion cubic meters of natural gas and 1.6 trillion cubic meters of biogas are vented or burned worldwide each year from oil wells and biogas digesters, because it is too expensive to compress to high pressures for storage and transport. Cenergy Solutions’ low-pressure adsorbent natural gas and biogas technology can economically capture, store, transport and utilize this wasted energy in vehicles, for cooking, heating and to power manufacturing and power plants.

The compressor fills the ANG tanks to be distributed to customers to replace their LPG tanks.

Cenergy Solutions’ adsorbent natural gas and biogas technology allows to store methane molecules in a dense state at low pressures. About 3-5 times the amount of natural gas or biogas can be stored in an ANG tank compared to a conventional CNG tank at the same pressure. READ MORE
