摘要

Decreasing CO2 emissions via carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is an essential approach in combating climate change; however, research and application areas remain relatively constrained. In this context, the use of CO2 for bioenergy generation offers the opportunity to reduce CO2 emissions while also serving as a sustainable resource. Biomethane production from CO2 and H2 is seen as a promising solution for capturing carbon released into the atmosphere during anaerobic digestion processes, but the low solubility of hydrogen constitutes a bottleneck in this process. This study investigated the use of H2-based CO2 biomethanation for CO2 capture and conversion. By employing an anaerobic membrane biofilm reactor, H₂ utilization efficiency was effectively complete (> 99%), a H2 gas–liquid mass transfer rate of 0.20 \({L}_{{H}_{2}}\) L H 2 / \({L}_{R.d}\) L R . d was achieved during a 3-day gas residence time, and methane production efficiency reached 83%. These results imply that the membrane biofilm reactor overcomes the bottleneck of low H2 solubility. Additionally, the anaerobic membrane biofilm reactor system achieved a remarkable increase in H₂ utilization efficiency (> 99%), compared to conventional systems (70–90%).
