Section: Hydrogen Storage By Circular Hydrogen Carriersmentioning
Summary
Large-scale stationary hydrogen storage is critical if hydrogen is to fulfill its promise as a global energy carrier. While densified storage via compressed gas and liquid hydrogen is currently the dominant approach, liquid organic molecules have emerged as a favorable storage medium because of their desirable properties, such as low cost and compatibility with existing fuel transport infrastructure. This perspective article analytically investigates hydrogenation systems' technical and economic prospects using liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) to store hydrogen at a large scale compared to densified storage technologies and circular hydrogen carriers (mainly ammonia and methanol). Our analysis of major system components indicates that the capital cost for liquid hydrogen storage is more than two times that for the gaseous approach and four times that for the LOHC approach. Ammonia and methanol could be attractive options as hydrogen carriers at a large scale because of their compatibility with existing liquid fuel infrastructure. However, their synthesis and decomposition are energy and capital intensive compared to LOHCs. Together with other properties such as safety, these factors make LOHCs a possible option for large-scale stationary hydrogen storage. In addition, hydrogen transportation via various approaches is briefly discussed. We end our discussions by identifying important directions for future research on LOHCs.

“…The severe environmental impact of fossil fuels, used in all aspects of our lives, is a serious threat, as is clear from the resulting health problems and climate change [1,2]. To reduce the severe problems caused by the different fossil fuels, scientists have proposed different solutions, such as waste heat recycling [3,4], developing efficient energy conversion systems that have low or no environmental impact [5][6][7], transitioning from fossil fuel resources to renewable energy resources [8][9][10], and, finally, CO 2 capture [11][12][13][14]. In the last decade, the renewable energy sources' capacity was exponentially increased, resulting in a critical need for energy conversion/storage systems that can effectively use/store such an increase in energy.…”
This review presents a detailed summary of the latest technologies used in flywheel energy storage systems (FESS). This paper covers the types of technologies and systems employed within FESS, the range of materials used in the production of FESS, and the reasons for the use of these materials. Furthermore, this paper provides an overview of the types of uses of FESS, covering vehicles and the transport industry, grid leveling and power storage for domestic and industrial electricity providers, their use in motorsport, and applications for space, satellites, and spacecraft. Different types of machines for flywheel energy storage systems are also discussed. This serves to analyse which implementations reduce the cost of permanent magnet synchronous machines. As well as this, further investigations need to be carried out to determine the ideal temperature range of operation. Induction machines are currently stoutly designed with lower manufacturing cost, making them unsuitable for high-speed operations. Brushless direct current machines, the Homolar machines, and permanent magnet synchronous machines should also be considered for future research activities to improve their performance in a flywheel energy storage system. An active magnetic bearing can also be used alongside mechanical bearings to reduce the control systems’ complications, thereby making the entire system cost-effective.
“…Humankind faces an urgent challenge to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to reach a carbon neutral society by 2050, the point at which environmental changes caused by climate change may become irreversible [1], [2]. Amongst the many technologies being developed towards this goal, it has been argued that carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is a necessary component, being both a mature and relatively inexpensive measure that can support other initiatives in electrochemical storage, renewable energy conversion and improving industrial efficiency [3]- [6]. Not only is CCUS an environmental necessity, but it also represents a significant economic opportunity [7], [8].…”
Section: Introduction and Objectives -Co2 Capture By Metal Oxidesmentioning
Carbon dioxide capture and mitigation forms a key part of the technological response to combat climate change and reduce CO2 emissions. Solid materials capable of reversibly absorbing CO2 have been the focus of intense research for the past two decades, promising stability and low energy costs to implement and operate compared to the more widely used liquid amines. In this Review, we explore the fundamental aspects underpinning solid CO2 sorbents based on alkali and alkaline earth metal oxides operating at mid- to high temperature: how their structure, chemical composition and morphology impact their performance and long-term use. Various optimization strategies are outlined to improve upon the most promising materials, and we combine recent advances across disparate scientific disciplines including materials discovery, synthesis, and in situ characterization to present a coherent understanding of the mechanisms of CO2 absorption both at surfaces and within solid materials.
