The biological methanation process has emerged as a promising alternative to thermo-catalytic methods due its ability operate under milder conditions. However, challenges such low hydrogen solubility and the need for precise trace element supplementation (Fe(II), Ni(II), Co(II)) constrain methane production yield. This study investigates combined effects of concentrations applied pressure on methanation, addressing their synergistic interactions. Using face-centered composite design, batch mode experiments were conducted optimize production. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) Artificial Neural Network (ANN)—Genetic Algorithm (GA) approaches employed model process. RSM identified optimal ranges elements pressure, while ANN-GA demonstrated superior predictive accuracy, capturing nonlinear relationships with high R² (>0.99) minimal prediction errors. optimization indicated 97.9% efficiency reduced conversion time 15.9 h conditions 1.5 bar metal 25.0 mg/L Fe(II), 0.20 0.02 Co(II). Validation confirmed these predictions deviations below 5%, underscoring robustness models. results highlight metals in enhancing gas–liquid mass transfer enzymatic pathways, demonstrating potential computational modeling experimental validation systems, contributing sustainable

Fossil fuels drive global warming, necessitating renewable alternatives such as biomethane (or natural gas). Biomethane, primarily produced through anaerobic digestion (AD), offers a cleaner energy solution but is limited by the slow AD process. Biomass gasification followed syngas methanation has emerged faster alternative. This review examines advancements in these processes over last decade (2015–2024), focusing on techno-economic and life cycle assessment (LCA) studies. Techno-economic analyses reveal that production costs are influenced several factors, including process complexity, feedstock type scale of production. Smaller units tend to exhibit higher capital (CAPEX) per MW capacity, while choice efficiency play significant roles determining overall costs. LCA studies highlight impacts for due demands associated emissions. However, integrating hydrogen electrolysis, along with innovations sorption-enhanced (SEG), can enhance system reduce environmental impacts. critically evaluates technical economic challenges, opportunities optimizing production, discusses potential technologies contribute sustainable bioenergy solutions transition low-carbon economy.
