Techniques for methane and organic waste conversion

Abstract

Techniques are described to capture methane emissions from barns or other agricultural sites and to provide both the methane and a waste feedstock to a gasifier. The waste feedstock may comprise both organic agricultural waste (e.g., manure, rejected feed) and synthetic waste (e.g., plastic wrappers or feed bags, wood), which may be combined before being provided to a gasification process. The gasifier may convert the waste feedstock and methane gas into syngas, which, for example, may be fed into a boiler to produce steam, or may be used to produce fuel through a Fischer-Tropsch process.
