摘要：Systems and methods for converting aquatic plants to liquid methane aredisclosed. A representative system includes an aquatic plant cultivator, an anaerobic
digester operatively coupled to the aquatic plant cultivator to receive aquatic plants andproduce biogas, and a biogas converter coupled to the anaerobic digester to receive thebiogas and produce liquefied methane and thermal energy, at least a portion of thethermal energy resulting from a methane liquefaction process. The system can furtherinclude a thermal path between the biogas converter and at least one of the aquaticplant cultivator and the anaerobic digester. A controller can be coupled to the biogasconverter and the aquatic plant cultivator and/or the anaerobic digester. The controllercan be programmed with instructions that, when executed (e.g., based on measuredvariables of the system), direct the portion of thermal energy between the biogasconverter and the aquatic plant cultivator and/or anaerobic digester.
