Process that transforms biogas into hydrogen-rich gas for subsequent energy conversion. Second stage of the BIOGAS2PEM-FC system.

Final stage of the BIOGAS2PEM-FC system that converts hydrogen-rich gas into electricity. Likely uses fuel cell technology (PEM-FC suggests Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell).

A process where microorganisms break down biodegradable materials in the absence of oxygen. In the Muckbuster, this process is used to digest waste and produce methane.

EU-funded pilot project that developed a waste-to-energy facility converting olive oil production waste into electricity and heat through anaerobic digestion and hydrogen conversion.

A three-stage waste-to-energy system consisting of an anaerobic digestion reactor, biogas-to-hydrogen conversion stage, and hydrogen-to-electricity conversion stage. Produces combined heat and power from olive oil production waste.
