Abstract:
A method for providing upgraded biogas includes feeding a stream of biogas into a biogas upgrading system in order to remove carbon dioxide from the stream of biogas. The biogas upgrading system, which may be based on absorption, adsorption, membrane permeation, and/or cryogenics, provides a stream of upgraded biogas and a tail gas stream. The tail gas stream, which may be CO 2 -rich, is enriched with natural gas so that it is combustible in medium-BTU equipment. The upgraded biogas is used for transportation use and/or the generation of fuel credits. Accordingly, both the tail gas and the upgraded biogas are used effectively and at lower cost.

Claim (Index 54):
The method according to  claim 52 , wherein withdrawing natural gas from the distribution system comprises withdrawing an amount of natural gas selected such that for every unit of biogas fed to the biogas upgrading system at least 0.5 unit of natural gas is withdrawn from the distribution system.
