SYSTEM BURNER LOW FLOW OF BIOGAS FOR CARBON CREDITS WITH DIRECT THERMOELECTRIC AND PHOTOVOLTAIC MICROGENERATION

Abstract

This work involved the development of an innovative burner recorder low flow of biogas that promotes both sanitaria burning of methane in biogas and its carbon crediting in clean development mechanisms. The system is energetically autonomous and incorporates two emerging microgeneration technologies still under development for this application: a) the use of waste heat gases from combustion of biogas for generating electrical power by the Seebeck effect and b) of photovoltaic power through nanotechnology thin films of flexible system-based CdS/CdTe (cadmium sulfur/cadmium tellurium). The energy autonomy via the combination of photovoltaic and utilization of waste heat from the combustion of biogas, it is necessary to operate in regions devoid of the power grid and even in times of blackouts register carbon credits via MODEM. The system combines mechanical solutions to electronic solutions, is an innovative alternative, national and low cost compared with flares systems, industrial gas burners, which are complex, costly and demand for electricity and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) to operate. The proposed system burns the biogas collected, promoting environmental sanitation and the crediting of carbon, thus aligning themselves with the guidelines of the Kyoto Protocol. Depending on the volume of biogas collected and burned up can get a considerable generation of electricity for other applications.
