Capturing and using CO₂as feedstock with chemical looping and hydrothermal technologies

Abstract

Summary Chemical looping technology for capturing and hydrothermal processes for conversion of carbon are discussed with focused and critical assessments. The fluidized and stationary reactor systems using solid, including biomass, and gaseous fuels are considered in chemical looping combustion, gasification, and reforming processes. Sustainability is emphasized generally in energy technology and in two chemical looping simulation case studies using coal and natural gas. Conversion of captured carbon to formic acid, methanol, and other chemicals is also discussed in circulating and stationary reactors in hydrothermal processes. This review provides analyses of the major chemical looping technologies for CO2 capture and hydrothermal processes for carbon conversion so that the appropriate clean energy technology can be selected for a particular process. Combined chemical looping and hydrothermal processes may be feasible and sustainable in carbon capture and conversion and may lead to clean energy technologies using coal, natural gas, and biomass.

Technoeconomics and Sustainability of Renewable Methanol and Ammonia Productions Using Wind Power-based Hydrogen

“…Methanol has half of the volumetric energy density relative to gasoline or diesel; however, it can be used in the direct methanol fuel cell [13][14][15]20,21,29,34,36]. Renewable hydrogen-based methanol would recycle carbon dioxide as a possible alternative fuel to diminishing oil and gas resources [77][78][79].…”

“…Hydrogen is a clean fuel; its burning causes no harmful emissions; however the cost to produce, store, compress, and transport of the hydrogen is still high [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Methanol may be used as a fuel and a valuable feedstock for producing methyl t-butyl ether, dimethyl ether, dimethyl carbonate, formaldehyde, acetic acid and other chemical secondary intermediates which are used in producing plywood, particleboard, foams, resins and plastics [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Analysis of dual fluidized bed gasification integrated system with liquid fuel and electricity products

“…In recent years, dual fluidized bed (DFB) reactor shows better gasification performance [4] among various types of gasification reactors. DFB reactor produces a high hydrogen content and almost no nitrogen dilution syngas [5,6] and it also has a wide capacity for various feedstock conditions [7].…”
