Enhancing CH4, H2 purity by Selective Removal of CO2 & Gas Impurities utilising Natural Synergies Proprietary Composite and MOF's

自然协同有限公司(NS)在这个项目中的目标是开发一种低成本、低能源的碳捕获(CC)解决方案，用于去除二氧化碳和其他气体杂质，如硫化氢和水，用于从中小型AD工艺(100 Nm~3/小时-2500 Nm~3/小时)升级沼气，以及在气化、气态化石燃料CH4/C3H8蒸汽重整或高二氧化碳排放行业(如化肥(尿素)/钢铁/水泥/乙醇生产)制氢期间从氢气和二氧化碳混合气体中升级沼气。Tees Valley集群是英国选择实现氢经济的主要区域之一。全球碳捕获和封存市场预计将从2021年的16亿GB增长到2028年的57亿GB。去年，英国排放了约3.26亿吨碳。英国政府宣布，到2030年，它将需要四个CCS计划，以在整个经济中捕获2000万-3000万tCO2/a。使用先进的AD系统是建议的主要减排措施之一。目前英国有650家厌氧消化(AD)工厂，不包括与废水处理相关的工厂，另有269家AD工厂正在开发中。TES山谷/TES山谷集群(TVC)有5个已运营/计划中的AD工厂。两个AD工厂产生~5MWe(~2500 Nm~3沼气)，两个工厂处于规划和开发阶段，并可能从生物甲烷升级(提高发动机电效率/燃气到电网喷射)中获得商业利益。另有70多个AD设施位于米德尔斯堡半径100英里内。NS的目标是开发一种低成本的沼气升级技术，通过去除二氧化碳、硫化氢和水来扩大生物甲烷的生产，增强其商业竞争力和销售机会。目前的项目将开发碳捕获装置至TRL 4/5，并进行技术、财务、实验室规模的开发和评估。未来的原型将在NS实验室开发为TRL 6/7，原型CC装置将在英格兰东北部的适当设施进行测试。

Natural Synergies Ltd (NS) aims in this project is in developing a low-cost, low-energy, Carbon Capture (CC) solution to the removal of Carbon Dioxide and other gaseous impurities, e.g. Hydrogen Sulphide as well as water, for upgrading biogas from small to medium scale AD processes (100 Nm3/hr -- 2500 Nm3/hr) as well as potentially from Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide gas mixtures during Hydrogen production from gasification, gaseous fossil fuel CH4/C3H8 steam reforming, or from high CO2 emitting industries e.g. fertiliser(Urea)/steel/cement/ethanol production. The Tees Valley Cluster is one of the main zones within the UK that has been selected for realising the hydrogen economy.The global carbon capture and sequestration market is projected to grow from £1.6 Billion in 2021 to £5.7 Billion in 2028\. Last year the UK emitted around 326M tonnes of carbon. UK Government has announced it would need four CCS schemes by 2030 to capture 20 M--30 M tCO2/a across the economy. The use of advanced AD systems is among the main measures proposed for emissions reduction. There are currently 650 Anaerobic Digestion(AD) plants in the UK, excluding plants associated with wastewater treatment, with a further 269 AD plants in development. Tees Valley/Tees Valley Cluster (TVC) has 5 operational/planned AD plants. Two AD plants generate ~5MWe (~2500 Nm3biogas) with two plants in planning and development stage and could commercially benefit from biomethane upgrading, (improved engine electrical-efficiency/gas-to-grid injection). A further 70 plus AD facilities are located within a 100-mile radii of Middlesbrough.NS aims to develop a low-cost biogas upgrading technology through removal of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and water, to amplify production of biomethane, enhancing its commercial competitiveness and sales opportunity. Current project will develop Carbon Capture unit to TRL 4/5 with Technical, Financial, Bench-scale development and assessment. Future prototype will be developed at the NS laboratory to TRL 6/7 and the prototype CC unit will be tested at suitable facilities in the NE of England.
