SRI developing process for co-gasification of methane and coal to produce liquid transportation fuels; negligible water consumption, no CO2

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 20, 2011

Researchers from SRI International (SRI) are developing a methane-and-coal-to-liquids process that consumes negligible amounts of water and does not generate carbon dioxide. Lifecycle GHG comparison. In conventional CTL approaches, energy is supplied by burning a portion of the coal feed, which then produces carbon dioxide.

Australia-based underground coal gasification (UCG) company Linc Energy ( earlier post ) has signed an exclusive agreement with the UK-based alkaline fuel cell technology company AFC Energy Plc and its related company, B9 Coal ( earlier post ). A downside of AFCs has been CO 2 contamination of the electrolyte, reducing efficiency.

Researchers at Wakayama University in Japan have produced a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide gas by irradiating a mixture of carbon powder and distilled water with intense nanosecond laser pulses at room temperature. Electrodes or any other photocatalysts were not used to produce the hydrogen. Credit: ACS, Akimoto et al.

There has been much discussion for over thirty years or more around the use of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Proponents believe such a car could be easily refuelled with hydrogen and assumed it would have greater range than a pure all-electric car.

Hydrogen for reverse water gas shift reaction to avoid producing CO 2 during the process is produced by electrolyzing water, driven by solar power. For comparison, they also modeled the production of methanol using only biomass as a fuel and also using coal as source of both carbon and energy. Hertwich and Zhang (2009).

Also, using renewable electricity to replace electricity produced by carbon-intensive energy sources, for example, coal, would likely result in a greater reduction in emissions than using that electricity to convert CO 2 into liquid fuels. Furthermore, the main competing reaction to CO 2 reduction is hydrogen evolution.
