Abstract
Methods and systems for emissions free dispatchable power supply, emissions free chemical energy storage, and emissions free chemical energy distribution are disclosed. Methods include providing water and/or carbon dioxide to an electrolyser; providing electricity from a regional electrical power grid to the electrolyser for electrolysis of the water and/or carbon dioxide to produce oxygen; and providing the oxygen from the electrolyser to a hydrocarbon oxidation device for the oxidation of a hydrocarbon.
Claims20
A method of operating a system comprising an electrical power plant, an electrolyser connected to a regional electrical power grid, and a hydrocarbon oxidation device, comprising:
- providing water and/or carbon dioxide to the electrolyser;
- providing electricity from the regional electrical power grid to the electrolyser for electrolysis of the water and/or carbon dioxide to produce oxygen;
- and
- providing the oxygen from the electrolyser to the hydrocarbon oxidation device for the oxidation of a hydrocarbon.
A system comprising:
- an air separation unit, a hydrocarbon reformer, and a Haber-Bosch process unit;
- wherein the air separation unit provides nitrogen to the Haber-Bosch process unit;
- wherein the hydrocarbon reformer unit provides hydrogen to the Haber-Bosch process unit.
