GeniusFuels - Gasification and Electrolysis Novel Integration Used for Sustainable FUELS - a Clean Energy Transition Partnership Project
Tackling key scientific and technological current challenges in the produciton of renwable fuels and biochar.
The GeniusFuels project tackles key scientific and technological current challenges to produce fuels for maritime and heavy-duty transport (e.g., methanol and/or dimethyl ether) and biochar. The GeniusFuels project want to provide groundbreaking solutions by combining high temperature solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC) with a biomass gasification process, taking advantage of the oxygen coproduced in the electrolysis as an alternative to conventional air separation units that entail a high cost to avoid the dilution of the produced syngas with N2. A fraction of the electrolytic oxygen will be used to upgrade the gas after the gasification with a catalytic reforming process, increasing the syngas quality and the process temperature; the resulting waste heat can be favourably provided to the SOEC to reduce its operative costs. Furthermore, two processes for the production of MeOH and DME will be tailored in response to the H2/CO/CO2 ratio in the syngas produced by the gasification/reforming and to the effect of pollutants, by studying the reaction kinetics in detail". Finally, the biochar, usually coproduced with a 10-20 % yield, can be a valuable product to store carbon and produce negative CO2 emission fuels.
