    Abstract: According to the present invention, organic material is converted to biogas through anaerobic digestion and the biogas is purified to yield a combustible fluid feedstock comprising methane. A fuel production facility utilizes or arranges to utilize combustible fluid feedstock to generate renewable hydrogen that is used to hydrogenate crude oil derived hydrocarbons in a process to make transportation or heating fuel. The renewable hydrogen is combined with crude oil derived hydrocarbons that have been desulfurized under conditions to hydrogenate the liquid hydrocarbon with the renewable hydrogen or alternatively, the renewable hydrogen can be added to a reactor operated so as to simultaneously desulfurize and hydrogenate the hydrocarbons. The present invention enables a party to receive a renewable fuel credit for the transportation or heating fuel.

    Abstract: Provided herein is process of obtaining hydrogen from a blue hydrogen production facility that meets a target carbon intensity (CIT), the process comprising: generating hydrogen from non-renewable feedstock; capturing and sequestering fossil CO2 derived from the non-renewable feedstock; and at least partially powering hydrogen production with renewable electricity, the renewable electricity being derived from biomass in which biogenic carbon produced therefrom (e.g., carbon dioxide, char and the like) is captured and sequestered; and wherein the use of the renewable electricity in the hydrogen production allows the carbon intensity of the hydrogen produced therefrom to be reduced sufficiently so that the target carbon intensity (CIT) is achieved.

    Abstract: A method for upgrading biogas wherein biogas is provided in one or more pressurized vessels. A plurality of pressurized feeds are produced in a process comprising decompressing biogas from at least one of the one or more vessels and as the biogas is decompressed providing portions of the biogas at successively lower pressures. The plurality of pressurized feeds, which have different average pressures, are provided to a pressure swing adsorption process wherein an adsorbent bed is pressurized by successively feeding gas from each of the pressurized feeds in the plurality into the adsorbent bed in order of increasing average pressure. Accordingly, compression costs can be reduced.
