The potential of biogas and biomethane: Beyond fossil fuels.
In recent years, the European energy matrix has undergone significant changes in its composition, with renewable energies gaining prominence. This shift has been driven by decarbonization and energy transition goals, as well as the need to diversify energy sources. Renewable gases such as biogas and biomethane are becoming increasingly important due to their versatility and […]
How using green oxygen can reduce the costs of green hydrogen
Green hydrogen, produced by electrolysis of water, is a promising option for the transition to a more sustainable and decarbonised energy economy. In this process, electricity, ideally obtained from renewable sources such as solar photovoltaics, is used to break down water (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). This hydrogen is called “green” because its […]
Dynamic Simulation and Energy Optimization in Refineries
In today’s competitive industrial environment, refineries are constantly looking for ways to improve their energy efficiency and reduce operating costs. Dynamic simulation and energy optimization are key tools that can lead to significant energy savings and more sustainable operation. Dynamic simulation refers to the use of mathematical and computational models to mimic or reproduce the […]
HAZOP Study in industrial engineering projects
Operational safety is a fundamental pillar in process engineering. A Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) is a systematic and rigorous methodology used to identify and evaluate potential risks in process facilities. The implementation of a HAZOP is critical in the basic and detailed engineering stages, as it lays the foundation for safe and efficient operation. […]
Hydrothermal Gasification White Paper
GRTgaz publishes the first white paper on wet biomass gasification under supercritical conditions (SCWG). This strategic guide addresses technical, environmental, and economic aspects related to supercritical gasification, as well as describing the maturity level of the technology and the main developers at the European and international levels, including Cade Soluciones de Ingeniería. White paper available […]
Thermal storage as a key element in the renewable electrification of industrial processes
Industrial processes, unlike the tertiary and residential sectors, require a higher proportion of heat than electricity. For this reason, the integration of renewable energies in these processes must consider thermal components that replace fossil generation systems. In this sense, different ways of obtaining renewable heat arise: Through biomass Through solar thermal energy Through renewable photovoltaic […]
