Hello Manuel,   I have an interest in such a system for my small farm. I think a 5kw genset with invertor should suffice but my concern is with noise and vibration.  How do you handle this? I like the countryside for peace and quiet.   Thanks, Tom   From: manuel cilia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED

I would always assume that adsorption requires clean gas. Biogas is not methane. It has hydrogen sulphide and CO2 in abundance and would have to be cleaned. Natural gas probably too. Filtration is much easier these days. Perhaps our resident chemistry professor would care to make a comment.   Ki

If it's like the hydride storage of hydrogen, you get it out of the "sponge" by heating it.  And when you are putting it in, it released alot of heat (just as if you were compressing gas).I bet small contaminations (such as from biogass produced methane) would poison the sponge -- I know that the h

Interesting indeed, but what I don't see is how densely the gas is thereafter stored. As in, for a say 10-gallon gas tank sized bundle of these briquettes, how much gasoline equivalent natural gas is being stored? A gallon per gallon equivalent? Two? Three? How much does the whole assemblage, t
