Net-negative Emission Hydrogen production with BECCUS

英国政府最近的绿色工业革命十点计划强调了低/零碳氢气在2050年前实现“净零”排放目标的关键重要性。然而，在全球氢气生产主要依赖化石燃料的情况下，这是一个巨大的挑战。利用城市固体废物(MSW)和生物质废物作为燃料(可再生)资源生产氢气的潜力很大，当与CCUS(碳捕获、利用和储存)结合时，它有可能产生负排放。该研究项目旨在开发和实施利用城市生活垃圾/生物质垃圾生产净负排放氢气的新技术方法。该研究方法将把稳健的热化学动力学与数值/Aspen和CFD(计算流体动力学)方法相结合，所有这些方法都将得到经过验证的实验和其他基准数据集的支持和验证。通过考虑拟议的/新衍生的集成生物能源系统的技术经济和环境可行性，将扩大研究的范围。

The UK Government's recent Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution emphasised the critical importance of low/zero carbon hydrogen in achieving the "net-zero" emission target by 2050. However, this is significantly challenging when the global hydrogen production is mostly dependent on fossil fuels. There is a considerable potential to use municipal solid waste (MSW) and biomass waste as a fuel (renewable) resource to generate hydrogen, and when combined with CCUS (carbon capture, utilisation and storage), it has the potential to provide negative emissions. This research project aims to develop and implement novel technical approaches for producing net-negative emission hydrogen from MSW/biomass waste. The research methodology will integrate robust thermochemical kinetics with numerical/ASPEN and CFD (computational fluid dynamics) methodologies, all of which will be supported and confirmed by validated experimental and other benchmark dataset. The scope of the research will be expanded by considering the techno-economic and environmental feasibility of proposed / newly derived integrated bioenergy based system.
