Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3185658A1] The invention relates to a carbon dioxide-neutral bio converter facility (BKA) according to figure 1, comprising: - at least one bio converter (BK) for a single-stage or multistage production of biogas (BG) by fermenting biomass (BM) in a fermentation liquid (GF) which is moved using agitation means in the presence of elemental hydrogen, hydrogenotrophic and methanogenic archaea, and activated carbon compositions (K; KM), - an ammonia store (NH3) which, by means of an ammonia line (NH3L), is connected to - an ammonia cracker (AC) for producing hydrogen and nitrogen (H2/N2) by catalytically cracking ammonia, and - a line (LH2/N2) for introducing the generated hydrogen (H2) or the hydrogen-nitrogen mixture (H2/N2) into the at least one bio converter (BK), and/or - a device (VBK) for treating the activated carbon compositions (K; KM) with hydrogen (H2) at a high pressure, comprising a pressure line (25) and an injection lance (28) for injecting the hydrogen-containing carbon compositions (K; KM) into the fermentation liquid (GF), wherein the ammonia is produced using renewable energy, and the ammonia cracker (AC) is operated using the renewable energy. The invention also relates to a conversion method, to a method for injecting hydrogen-containing carbon compositions (H2K; H2KM), and to the use of the fermentation products (KBM).
