ABSTRACT
Decreasing amount of fossil fuels in the world encourages the searching of alternative energy sources. In this time of energetic crisis, the production of hydrogen is an interesting solution. Hydrogen does not produce any contaminating emission. The aim of this study was to build a project installation that produces gas biofuels and define the potential biohydrogen and biogas possible to produce from the waste of a dairy plant. The calculations assume a production of 400 m3 per day of whey permeate from the dairy plant. The methane fermentation process was carried out according to the modified German standard DIN 38 414/S8 in the eco-technology laboratory in the Poznan University of Life Sciences. The results revealed that, with the assumed quantity of available substrate, it is possible to generate 1 570 960 m3 of hydrogen per year and 4 749 469 m3 of biogas with a methane percentage of approx. 49%. Based on these results it could be possible to build a biogas plant of an estimated power of 0,99 MW of electricity and 1,12 MW of heat, as well as the hydrogen fuel cell power of 0,32 MW of electricity.
