Abstract:
A process for producing methane from a biomass, biomass-containing and/or biomass-derived feedstock is provided. The process comprises: a) providing in a hydropyrolysis reactor vessel a hydropyrolysis catalyst composition, said composition comprising one or more active metals supported on an oxide-based support, said one or more active metals comprising at least one of cobalt and nickel and said one or more active metals being present in total in an amount in the range of from 2 to 75 wt % based on the overall weight of the catalyst composition; b) contacting the feedstock with said hydropyrolysis catalyst composition and molecular hydrogen in said hydropyrolysis reactor vessel, to produce a first product stream comprising char, catalyst fines and gases comprising hydrogen and hydrocarbons, of which hydrocarbons at least 70 wt % is methane and, optionally, CO and CO 2 ; and c) removing said char and catalyst fines from said first product stream.

Claim (Index 8):
The process of  claim 1 , wherein either the first product stream or the second product stream, if present, is subjected to cooling and separated from any condensed liquid thus formed, to produce a gaseous stream that is free of said condensed liquid.
