Abstract
A facility (100) for storing hydrogen in an organic liquid is disclosed. The facility (100) comprises an absorption chamber (190) adapted to hold the organic liquid, to receive synthesis gas such that the organic liquid sorbs the synthesis gas, separates the hydrogen from other components of the synthesis gas and bounds the hydrogen to store the hydrogen in the organic uid, and to release the other components of the synthesis gas from the organic liquid. Further, a method for storing hydrogen in an organic liquid is disclosed.
Claims20
A facility for storing hydrogen in an organic liquid, the facility comprising:
- an absorption chamber adapted:
- to hold the organic liquid,
- to receive synthesis gas and bring the synthesis gas in contact with the organic liquid whereby the organic liquid can absorb a portion of the synthesis gas, separate the hydrogen from other components of the absorbed synthesis gas and bound separated hydrogen to store bound separated hydrogen in the organic liquid, and
- to release the other components of the absorbed synthesis gas from the organic liquid.
A method for storing hydrogen in an organic liquid, said method comprising:
- providing the organic liquid and a synthesis gas comprising the hydrogen;
- bringing the synthesis gas into contact with the organic liquid whereby the organic liquid can absorb a portion of the synthesis gas, separate the hydrogen from other components of absorbed synthesis gas and bound separated hydrogen to store bound hydrogen in the organic liquid;
- and
- releasing the other components of the absorbed synthesis gas from the organic liquid.
