Pipeline Quality Biomethane: North American Guidance Document for Interchangeability of Dairy Waste Derived Biomethane

This effort, GTI project number 20614, provides guidance needed for the introduction of biomethane from dairy waste into existing pipelines. To support this effort, three areas of focus have been captured, with independent reports:

• Executive Summary and Acknowledgments – (GTI-09/0011)
• Task 1 Final Report: Technology Investigation, Assessment, and Analysis – (GTI-09/0012)
• Task 2 Final Report: Laboratory Testing and Analysis –
  (GTI-09/0013)
• Task 3 Final Report: Guidance Document for Introduction of Dairy Waste Biomethane – (GTI-09/0014)

GTI is also implementing a similar gas testing and quality program for biogas/biomethane derived from landfills and waste water treatment plants to provide guidance for a growing green energy market from these biomass sources. Results from this project are anticipated at the end of 2009.
