Abstract

Methane is a promising energy carrier suitable for long-distance transportation and long-term storage. Converting CO2 to methane via bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) opens up a new path for not only renewable energy storage but also CO2 emission reduction. In this chapter, the theoretical underpinning of methane-producing BESs was summarized, together with the review of the state-of-the-art development of such technology. In addition, applications of such technology in many aspects were also discussed. Collectively, methane-producing BESs still need to be investigated especially in terms of low energy efficiency, but they hold great promise to be applied in the future.
