Power to liquid through waste as a carbon source. A technical and economic assessment
The combination of a power to methanol process with the use of waste for carbon supply turns out to be a cleaver solution for sustainable chemical production and waste management as well as long-term energy storage. In the current work, an innovative scheme which integrates waste and energy conversion to produce methanol is addressed. Within the proposed configuration syngas is produced from waste gasification and enriched with hydrogen produced through water electrolysis, in order to accomplish methanol synthesis requirements.
