Summary: Pyrolysis of natural gas to produce H-2 and solid carbon has low CO2 emissions but high CH4 emissions. The climate benefit of this process depends on plant location and CH4 emission reduction speed, with certain states having higher potential. Without fast action on CH4 emission mitigation, the climate benefit is minimal. A tool developed in this study can help estimate the climate impact in different scenarios and locations.

Summary: This article presents a conceptual design for a small-scale green ammonia plant, where ammonia synthesis is achieved by reacting hydrogen produced by a solid oxide electrolyzer with nitrogen purified from air using a series of solid electrolyte oxygen pumps. The system operates with an energetic efficiency of 52.12%, which is very close to a cryogenic ASU reference system achieving an efficiency of 52.89%. The specific energy consumption is 9.94 kWh/kgNH3. Although these results are promising, there are opportunities to further improve the system design, such as enhancing heat integration to utilize waste heat from the series of oxygen pumps for raising the steam required by the electrolyzer.

Summary: This study conducted an economic analysis for high-power solid oxide electrolysis cell systems, showing that a high-power system is superior to a low-power system from an economic perspective. The stack cost is the dominant component of the capital cost, while the electricity cost contributes the most to the hydrogen cost. The first case study found that, if a high-power system can be installed inside a nuclear power plant, the cost of hydrogen produced can reach $3.65/kg when the electricity cost is $3.28/kWh and the stack cost is assumed to be $574/kW. The second case study indicated that the hydrogen cost can decrease by 24% if the system is scaled up to a 2-MW scale.

Summary: This research proposes a trigeneration system composed of a proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC-H+) and a single-stage LiBr absorption chiller. Models for SOFC-H+ and single-stage LiBr absorption chiller were developed using Aspen Plus V10. Sensitivity analysis reveals that increasing temperature and fuel utilization improves the performance of SOFC-H+, while air to fuel (A/F) ratio and pressure negatively affect electrical and overall system efficiency. For the absorption chiller, the coefficient of performance remains stable and increases when the generator temperature is raised. Optimization suggests that SOFC-H+ should operate at 700 degrees C and 10 bar with a fuel utilization of 0.8 and A/F molar ratio of 2 to achieve a maximum overall efficiency of 93.34%. Energy and exergy analysis show that combined heat and power SOFC-H+ exhibits the highest energy and exergy efficiencies, followed by the trigeneration process, indicating the efficient production of electricity, heating, and cooling through the integration of SOFC-H+ and LiBr absorption chiller.

Summary: The combination of proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cell (H-SOEC) with dry methane reforming process (H-SOEC/DMR) was proposed to improve the efficiency and water content of syngas production. Performance analysis of the H-SOEC/DMR process showed that CO2 and CH4 conversions exceeded 90% and 80%, respectively, at temperatures ranging from 1073 to 1273 K, resulting in a syngas product with low water content. The highest energy efficiency of 72.80% was achieved at a temperature of 1123 K, pressure of 1 atm, and current density of 2500 A m(-2), which increased to 81.46% with the application of a heat exchanger network. Exergy analysis revealed that the H-SOEC/DMR unit had the lowest exergy efficiency.

Summary: An electrolyte imbalance in a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) can lead to degradation in performance and capacity during long-term operation. Through systematic analysis of VRFB, involving different electrode materials and membranes, factors such as carbon felt structures, cation- and anion-exchange membranes are considered. A dynamic model of VRFB is used to study the impact of electrolyte imbalance on battery performance and gas evolution/self-discharge side reactions. It is found that the rate of capacity loss depends on the material and operating conditions, with vanadium ion variation influenced by gassing and self-discharge side reactions. High energy efficiency is observed in VRFB using Type 3 electrodes and an AMV membrane. Battery operating time, current density, temperature, and total vanadium concentration are found to impact capacity degradation rate. Changes in electrolyte flow rate do not improve battery capacity due to electrolyte imbalance-induced state of charge reduction.

Summary: Biomass gasification, coupled with coal and calcium looping carbon dioxide capture process, was analyzed in this study. Increasing gasification temperature, steam-to-feed ratio, calcium oxide-to-feed ratio, and regenerator temperature improved hydrogen production. Optimization revealed that the optimal operating conditions were a gasifier temperature of 700 degrees C, S/F mass ratio of 2, C/B mass ratio of 0.75:0.25, carbonator temperature of 450 degrees C, regenerator temperature of 950 degrees C, and CaO/F mass ratio of 3. Under these conditions, maximum H-2 content of 99.59%vol. (dry basis) and H-2 yield of 92.38 g hydrogen/kg biomass feeding were achieved. The energy efficiency and carbon capture efficiency of the process were determined to be 42.86% and 99.99%, respectively, with a specific CO2 emission of 80.77 g CO2/MJ.

Summary: To efficiently convert bagasse into furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), integrated biorefinery processes were analyzed for their techno-economic feasibility. The results showed that scenario 2, which involved recycling 50% of HMF waste and using the entire bagasse, achieved the highest furfural and HMF production with minimal CO2 emissions. Heat integration also improved the efficiency of the biorefinery plant, leading to maximum profit at 11% internal rate of return. However, the high operating cost associated with solvents and catalysts for HMF production was identified as the largest cost component.
