While the use of biogas as a carbon-neutral fuel is rapidly expanding, it is also used as a substitute for natural gas in Europe and the US. The trial will use biogas derived from sewage sludge at the Kojima Sewage Treatment Plant. The technology will also be applied to CO2 separation and recovery from gases other than biogas.
