Norwegian spin-off snags $4.1M for methane-to-biofuels project

September 22, 2010 |

In Norway, a spin-off of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) known as MemfoACT has secured $4.1 million to commercialize its carbon membrane can transform low-grade biogas into valuble biofuel that can be used in cars, buses and trucks. The technology will first be used to upgrade units that produce biomethane from biogas. In turn, this biomethane can be used as engine fuel for cars, buses and the like.

The company currently has three lab scale demonstration/test rigs in operation, where the carbon membrane is being tested and verified on real biogas streams.
