What are the Challenges in Catalytic SNG Production?
Despite the advantages, catalytic SNG production faces several challenges:
- Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts can lose activity due to fouling, sintering, or poisoning by impurities. - Feedstock Variability: Inconsistent feedstock quality, especially in biomass, can affect catalyst performance and overall process efficiency. - High Initial Costs: Developing and scaling up efficient catalytic processes can be capital-intensive.
