Subject | The Hydrogen Economy |
Comment | The Dep't of Energy is developing higher temperature electric generation turbines (2650 F) that can operate off the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen from natural gas is a known technology that can leave carbon dioxide to be captured and sequestered. The exhaust from a hydrogen turbine would be water where half the hydrogen would come from the methane. The carbon dioxide before being sequestered could be run through an Allam cycle and produce additional power efficiently and with a small planform. The hydrogen produced during off peak hours or from a slightly larger gasifier/water gas shift system could be sold to the vehicle marketplace (Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles) or be stored at an order of magnitude less cost than battery storage (i.e., 25 kWh for tanks vs 250kWh to 500kWh for batteries). Such a system would promote biomass as the primary renewable option as against wind and solar. The above should be considered as part of the Advanced Clean Cars Review. |
