Abstract
A process and system for the generation gaseous fuels, the process comprising gasifying a carbonaceous fuel with vitiated air in the presence of lime and water to provide calcium carbonate, a gaseous fuel and heat; the system comprising a reactor for the gasification of the carbonaceous fuel with vitiated air in the presence of lime and water, and a heat exchanger to extract heat from the gaseous fuel. Use in the generation of gaseous fuels, in energy distribution and in grid energy firming.
Claims19
A process for the generation gaseous fuels, the process comprising gasifying a carbonaceous fuel with vitiated air in the presence of a metal oxide and water to provide a metal carbonate, a gaseous fuel and heat, wherein the overall process is represented by the following reaction:
- CaHbOc+aMO+N2+H2O→N2+CxHy+(a-x)MCO3
- wherein a, b and c are the molar component of the carbonaceous fuel, x may very from 0 to 8 and y may very from 2 to 14, MO represent metal oxide and MCO3 represent metal carbonate.
