Abstract

AbstractThe world trend for greenhouse gas emission mitigation determines the interest in hydrogen fuel, the wide use of which in power and transport industries requires a solution on large scale efficient and environmentally harmless production. Russia has large natural gas resources, therefore a transition to zero harmless emission power plants based on the energy production by methane conversion may be a prospective solution. The near-zero CO2 emission may be reached by the oxy-fuel combustion in a steam methane reforming facility. Computer simulation shows that the combined hydrogen and electricity production allows a 1.8% increase of fuel heat efficiency by utilization of syngas physical heat. At equal production of the supplied electricity and chemical energy of the produced hydrogen, the power plant efficiency is 54.9%.
