Machine learning-aided inverse design for biogas upgrading through biological CO 2 conversion
Abstract
The biogas upgrading process through bioconversion of CO 2 to CH 4 by hydrogenotrophic methanogens is an attractive strategy for energy decarbonation. Many studies have optimized operational parameters to improve key performance indicators such as CH 4 % and H 2 utilization efficiency. However, inconsistent laboratory conditions make it challenging to compare results. Existing models for analyzing operating conditions can only assess the impact of individual conditions and lack the ability to simultaneously optimize multiple conditions. To address this, two XGBoost models were built with R 2 of 0.779 and 0.903 with data collected from literatures and were embedded into multi-objective partitive swarm optimization algorithm to optimal operating conditions. Predictions were compared with experimental validations under optimized conditions, revealing an 8.50% and 2.95% relative error in CH 4 % and H 2 conversion rate, respectively. This approach streamlines biogas upgrading processes, offering a data-driven solution to enhance efficiency and consistency in the pursuit of sustainable methane production.
