Low cost blue hydrogen production technology

博士将研究利用中空纤维技术吸附系统对蓝氢的应用。在各种工业公司的支持下，这些公司可以获得有关陶瓷材料，立法和能源生产的建议，这些公司将确定在整个博士学位期间需要考虑的关键场景，这些场景可能会用于进一步的应用。确定的一个应用是氢气的生产，氢气通常是由每年排放约5亿吨二氧化碳的化石燃料产生的。这些已建立的生产设施依赖于可靠和经济上可行的二氧化碳捕获方法来继续生产，而世界上对排放的关注和意识正在不断提高。中空纤维的潜力包括在其整个使用寿命期间提高效率、耐用性和灵活性，同时还具有更低的压降，从而避免流化并缩短循环时间。从经济上讲，这项研究将使CCS技术的成本轨迹进一步下降，这将比没有CCS技术更快地增加其在多个行业的应用潜力。从能源和氢气生产到船舶和汽车的废气，CCS的这种应用几乎具有无限的潜力，可以减少排放，实现净零排放。

The PhD will investigate using a hollow fibre technology adsorption system for the application of blue hydrogen. Supported by various industrial companies that allow access to advice on ceramic materials, legislations and energy production, these companies will determine the key scenarios which need to be considered throughout this PhD which could potentially be used in further applications. One application identified is the production of hydrogen which typically is produced from fossil fuel sources that emit around 500 Mt of CO2 per year. These established production facilities are reliant on a reliable and economically feasible method of CO2 capture to continue producing in a world where emission concern and awareness is rising constantly.The potential for hollow fibres includes increased efficiency, durability, flexibility throughout its lifetime but also a lower pressure drop which avoids fluidisation and deceases cycle times. Economically, this research will allow for a step drop in the cost trajectory for CCS technology that will increase its potential adoption in multiple industries faster than without it. From energy and hydrogen production to exhausts of shipping vessels and cars, this application of CCS has nearly unlimited potential to reduce emissions towards a net zero world.
