Abstract
A system and method for producing liquid hydrocarbons is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes at least one renewable power system configured to generate a DC electric power output; at least one water electrolysis system in electrical communication with the renewable power system and configured to utilize the DC electric power to produce a hydrogen output; and a liquid hydrocarbon synthesis system in fluid communication with the water electrolysis system and configured to utilize the hydrogen output and a carbon dioxide feed to produce a liquid hydrocarbon product.
Claims20
A system for producing a liquid hydrocarbon comprising:
- at least one renewable power system configured to generate a direct current (“DC”) electric power output;
- at least one water electrolysis system in electrical communication with the renewable power system and configured to utilize the DC electric power output to produce a hydrogen output;
- and
- a liquid hydrocarbon synthesis system in fluid communication with the water electrolysis system and configured to utilize the hydrogen output and a carbon dioxide feed to produce a liquid hydrocarbon product.
A method for producing a liquid hydrocarbon comprising:
- generating a direct current electric power output by a renewable power system;
- directly coupling the direct current electric power output to a water electrolysis system;
- generating a hydrogen output by the water electrolysis system;
- receiving the hydrogen output and a carbon dioxide feed by a liquid hydrocarbon synthesis system;
- and
- generating a liquid hydrocarbon product by the liquid hydrocarbon synthesis system.
