Zero-emission multi-fuel engine, by self-generation of h2 and mechanical and/or electrical power output
P202131226
"Within the needs of the transport decarbonization process, and its main objective of Zero Emissions, this technology contributes to continue exploiting existing fossil fuel sources, use and reuse of fuel waste, oils and other hazardous substances through their valorization as a precursor fuel of which H2 is obtained in the system itself. This self-generated H2 is used as fuel either directly or from storage in a low-volume lung tank, minimizing risks associated with high-pressure compressed H2 tanks in conventional H2 engine technologies. The on-site self-generated H2 and O2 engine, by means of oxycombustion process, generates mechanical and/or electrical power, with a higher efficiency to conventional combustion engines and also without emitting GHGs (greenhouse gases) or pollutants into the atmosphere. The power generation system from air and a precursor fuel of H2, comprises the following components: · A power subsystem, based on a combustion engine such as alternative ICE; · A subsystem for generating pure H2 (99.99%) from H2 precursor fuel using an electrochemical membrane reactor (REM) · A subsystem for the generation of O2 from air using a ceramic oxygen transport membrane (OTM) type MIEC or POC. · A system fluid conditioning subsystem for the proper functioning of the other subsystems; · Ducts, which conduct fluid flows through the system, so that the O2 and H2 generated are supplied to the combustion engine and energy is produced through an oxy-combustion process, which in turn can produce electricity for self-consumption of the O2 and H2 subsystems or for storage or use in an electric engine."

"ADVANTAGES · High energy density on multi-fuel shipment: The low energy density that is achieved by storing or shipping electricity and H2 compared to storing or shipping liquid fuels from which high purity H2 (>99.99%) is self-generated in situ. · It reduces the need to build expensive new infrastructure for the transport and distribution of electricity and hydrogen. It allows electro-compression of H2 for direct use or storage on site without the need for additional systems. · The long energy recharge times in batteries do not exist when electricity is generated on site from H2. · Zero Emissions. Gases generated by-product of precursor fuel conditioning, such as CO2, is stored compressed and can be used to synthesize synthetic fuels, in trans-critical refrigeration systems, incorporation into products, fast-growing greenhouses, etc., actively contributing to the circular economy. BUSINESS APPLICATIONS · This technology is scalable and applicable to the transport sector and to energy generation and storage. Main interested companies would be oil companies, engines manufacturers, automotive sector, heavy transport, machinery, public works, maritime transport, manufacturers of the electricity sector, generation, cogeneration, combined cycles etc ..."
