Bioelectrochemical Systems (BES) for Biomethane Production—Review

Abstract: Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) have great potential in renewable energy production technologies. BES can generate electricity via Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) or use electric current to synthesize valuable commodities in Microbial Electrolysis Cells (MECs). Various reactor configurations and operational protocols are increasing rapidly, although industrial-scale operation still faces difficulties. This article reviews the recent BES related to literature, with special attention to electrosynthesis and the most… Show more

“…This strategy combines in a single step the biological methanation process with the electro-synthetical approach. 3–8 In conventional biogas plants, methanogenic microorganisms are used to produce biomethane from a limited number of organic substrates ( e.g. , acetate, formate, and methanol) with the process named dark fermentation.…”

“…This integration combines the breakdown of organic matter through AD to produce biogas (almost equimolar gas mixture of CO 2 :CH 4 ) with MEC where renewable energy and microorganisms from AD are used as catalysts to convert CO 2 into high-purity methane -a clean fuel. The potential benefits of this approach include improved efficiency, increased sustainability, and enhanced energy recovery from organic waste (Horváth-Gönczi et al, 2023;Wang et al, 2022). However, practical implementation requires understanding microbial interactions at the electrode surface and their impact on methane formation.…”
