Fuel production from biomass and hydrogen
Sensitivity Analysis of Methanol Process from Green H2 and Recovery CO2
Short Introductive summary
Maritime transport accounts for about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and replacing conventional fuels with green methanol is a promising strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, despite challenges such as high costs of wind-powered hydrogen, CO? capture and transport, infrastructure expenses, and strict fuel quality requirements. This study builds on Air Liquide’s pilot-scale tubular reactor technology, using experimental data from four plug-flow reactors, and employs process simulation in ProSimPlus to perform a sensitivity analysis on variables including temperature, pressure, feed flow, H?/CO? molar ratio, number of reactors, and purge fraction. The results indicate that the H?/CO? ratio, the number of reactor-intermediate separation modules, and the purge percentage have the greatest impact on methanol production, recycle ratio, and inert concentration in the system.
