Hydrogen And Liquid Carbon-Based Hydrogen Carriers

Hydrogen and liquid Carbon-based Hydrogen Carriers. Methanol, DME and Bio-Ethanol - Synthesis and Reforming. Liquid, fossil carbon-based energy carriers, like gasoline, Diesel and Kerosene dominate mobility. The simple reason for this is their high volumetric energy density and easy handling. In order to meet the CO2 emission targets alcohols or any other liquid energy carriers, based on biomass need to substitute those from fossil origin. Biogas is a source for Green DME or Biomethanol. The synthesis process needs a well-defined syngas as an intermediate step. Our FLOX reformer modular products could serve as a syngas-generator for plant capacities on a farm level. Downstream in the energy chain, the extraction of hydrogen from these biobased liquid energy carriers at the point of use is necessary. All our products can do this job: the FLOX reformer compact is perfect for methanol-fueled off-grid fuel cell power generators, often envisaged as a substitute for small and inefficient Diesel gen-sets. For larger capacities in ship or train applications or on-site fueling stations, one would choose the FLOX reformer modular. Particularly if one decides to operate on alcohol/water mixtures, the system will become astonishingly simple.
