Producing ethanol and methane from biomass, comprising enzymatically liquefying and saccharifying biomass flour (particle size of less than 1 mm) in presence of water to obtain a mash, fermenting and distilling substrate to obtain ethanol and pulp, separating the pulp into solid phase and clear phase, where clear phase with a content of solids of less than 1 % is obtained, and obtaining methane from clear phase in a methane reactor, is new. Independent claims are also included for: (1) producing energy and/or heat, comprising performing the novel method, and converting the methane to energy and/or heat; and (2) producing plant for producing ethanol and methane from the biomass comprising device for fermentation, distillation and a high-performance methane reactor. |
