🔆 Innovative thermochemical reactor for green hydrogen.

🔑 #GreenHydrogen #SolarEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability #Technology.

🌞 A new solar-powered thermochemical reactor has been proposed for the production of green hydrogen using helical flow channels. This reactor seeks to address the problem of uneven heating caused by solar collectors, which significantly affects hydrogen production efficiency. The energy flux density is highest in the center and decreases radially, resulting in uneven heat distribution.

💡 To address this, the reactor flow channel is designed in a helical configuration, allowing the reaction gas to enter from the edge and flow inward, exiting at the central position. Simulation studies have shown that this structure facilitates continuous temperature rise of the reaction gas, achieving a methane conversion rate of 94.76 %, a hydrogen yield of 1.54 mol/mol and an overall energy conversion efficiency of 32.52 %.

🔥 Effects of water injection on subway coal gasification.

🔑 #CoalGasification #Hydrogen #SustainableEnergy #Innovation #Technology.

🌍 Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a process that converts unmined coal resources into combustible gases such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide. During the UCG process, the temperature can exceed 1300 °C, which raises concerns about possible melting of steel pipes for oxidizer injection.

💡 The injection of water as an agent in the UCG process serves two purposes: to reduce the temperature in the reaction zone through the endothermic effect of water and to enhance H2 production by the reduction reaction of water. However, it is crucial to find the right balance, as excessive water injection can lower the temperature too much and affect the efficiency of the process.

🛠️ The key is to adjust the operating conditions to maintain the optimal temperature range and maximize hydrogen production. This balance is essential to take full advantage of UCG technology and move toward cleaner, more efficient energy production.

What do you think about the use of water injection in UCG? Could it be a viable solution to optimize hydrogen production? Share your thoughts in the comments!

🌟 Methanation: key to biogas and hydrogen roadmaps.

🔑 #Methanation #Biogas #Hydrogen #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability.

⚙️ Methanation, by combining biogas with hydrogen, allows to increase the total biomethane production by one third, and unifies the objectives of the Biogas and Hydrogen Roadmaps. Of this biogas production, less than half will be consumed directly. Although chemical engineers enjoy transforming products, each conversion step involves an energy loss.

🏭 It is therefore essential that companies with biodegradable waste and heat demand become self-consumers of their own biogas. However, in many cases, biogas production sites are far away from gas consumers, and the best option is biogas upgrading to adapt and inject it into the existing natural gas grid.

What do you think about this approach? Do you think methanation is the future of renewable energy? Leave us your comment!
