Biomethane  a viable and sustainable global energy solution for waste valorisation. 

Biogas = CH4 + CO2 + H2S

Biogas at  Smaller Sources small scale conversion of biogas to plastics and proteins

Viable for large producers from gas to raw materials. 

VTT Technical Research Centre Finland aim to improve self sufficiency and sustainable plastic production. For the process to work methanotrophic bacteria circulates through pipes of fermentation creating a cell 60% protein biomass, It is filtered, pasteurized and dried. Protein fractions can be extracted polyhydroxybutyrate plastic can grow as well which can be used as a biodegradable alternative to oil based plastics. Replacement of meat, soya, egg whites, fish in food and animal feed.

Decommission Tree and Guidelines

Platform decommissioning is a necessary step in offshore energy development. 1. Idle iron policy, 2. Rigs to reef, 3. Multiple agencies, 4. A notable success. The coastal marine insititute estimate that a typical eight leg platform structure provides home for 12,000 to 14,000 fish, individual reefing sites can have hundreds of them.
Decommissioning&Abandonment
Government legislation needs a refocus. Specific technical and time requirements is necessary.

A strong understanding from reservoir to near wellbore surface facility is needed to try and debottleneck production facilities.

Heavy Oil

The Western Hemisphere possesses 69 percent of the world's technically recoverable heavy oil and 82 percent of the technically recoverable natural bitumen. In contrast, the Eastern Hemisphere possesses about 85 percent of the world's light oil reserves. Heavy oil and natural bitumen are present worldwide. The largest extra-heavy oil accumulation is the Venezuelan Orinoco heavy-oil belt containing 90 percent of the world's extra-heavy oil when measured on an in-place basis. Eighty-one percent of the world's known recoverable bitumen is located in the Alberta, Canada accumulation. Together the two deposits contain about 3,600 billion barrels of oil in place.
