Gas heaters

Has anyone here already had experience with gas heaters that also burn biogas?

Hello clamatthys,
In Samstagern in the canton of Zurich, there has been a commercial plant since 1997 that digests green waste from the organic waste bin. It purifies the resulting gas until it is chemically indistinguishable from natural gas, and then feeds it into the distribution network of Gasversorgung Zürich.

The raw gas, which usually contains around 60 to 65 percent methane from the digester, must be processed to natural gas quality, i.e., moisture and hydrogen sulfide must be removed.

Processed biogas can be easily used with conventional gas boilers, is fed by biogas producers into the natural gas network – so you don’t notice anything, heating as usual.

Would you like to produce biogas yourself and use it for your own house?

digressions... Biogas plants are only ecologically sound with reservations. One condition, for example, is that the plant is well sealed and no gas can escape. Furthermore, sufficient biomass must be locally available without large transports...

Even though it doesn’t answer the question, I recently read that these wood pellets for heating are supposed to be really popular. Although the matching combustion boilers are supposed to be insanely expensive, like with solar systems, this should really pay off after a few years. Especially because the pellets themselves are so cheap. And environmentally friendly too... although gas obviously has some advantages as well. Well, just wanted to briefly point out a good alternative to gas. But of course, everyone has to decide for themselves and according to their budget. :) Best regards Frank
