Abstract

The invention relates to a method for purifying and/or decomposing and cooling a gas mixture comprising a main gas and accompanying substances, wherein at least one first accompanying substance and a second accompanying substance have a higher condensation temperature than the main gas. The method comprises cooling the gas mixture by means of a first cooling stage (12a) to a first temperature below a condensation temperature of a first accompanying substance of the plurality of accompanying substances such that the first accompanying substance is at least partly condensed; and separating at least some of the condensed first accompanying substance such that the first accompanying substance is at least partially removed from the gas mixture. The method further comprises cooling the gas mixture by means of a second cooling stage (12b) to a second temperature below a condensation temperature of a second accompanying substance of the plurality of accompanying substances such that the second accompanying substance is at least partly condensed; and separating at least some of the condensed second accompanying substance such that the second accompanying substance is at least partially removed from the gas mixture. The first temperature is higher than the second temperature, and the second temperature is higher than the condensation temperature of the main gas.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis of H2 and CO2 to form CH4, characterized in that a gas mixture comprising natural gas, hydrogen generated and CO2 having a minimum natural gas concentration of 10 % and preferably having a ratio of hydrogen and CO2 that is stoichiometric for the formation of CH4 is fed into an underground storage facility which comprises a gas zone and is stored there in the presence of methanogenic microorganisms. The present invention further relates to the use of such a method for regulating the CO2 and/or hydrogen content in a natural gas.
