Methanol and ammonia as emerging green fuels: Evaluation of a new power generation paradigm

Elena C. Blanco et al.

Summary: In the current energy transition, liquid fuels are being considered as energy storage due to the fluctuations of renewable energy sources, and as energy carriers to introduce renewables in hard-to-electrify applications. Methanol and ammonia are the most promising green liquid fuels. This study assesses the transformation of methanol/ammonia into power through thermochemical and electrochemical routes, with the former showing higher efficiency and better energy performance. The cost for the thermochemical route is currently around 0.3 euro/kWh, while the electrochemical route is around 0.6-1 euro/kWh.

Waste heat recovery optimization in ammonia-based gas turbine applications

Yazhou Shen et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel chemical-recuperated, humidified gas turbine concept using e-fuel ammonia to overcome technical challenges and improve cycle performance through waste heat utilization. Thermodynamic analysis shows a highest net electrical efficiency of 56.7%, exceeding that of an ammonia-fueled Brayton cycle by 20.6%-points. The efficiency improvement is attributed to chemical recuperation of fuel and steam injection.

Techno-economic assessment of long-term methanol production from natural gas and renewables

Carlos Arnaiz del Pozo et al.

Summary: Growing concerns about climate change have led to increased interest in alternative energy carriers to fossil fuels. Methanol shows promise as a potential solution for transportation and storage challenges, with an existing infrastructure and scalable synthesis process. This study assesses the techno-economic viability of producing methanol from natural gas and renewable energy with direct air capture (DAC). The results indicate that both natural gas and renewable methanol have their advantages and costs, and the deployment of renewable methanol at scale will require strong policy support.

Dmitry Pashchenko

Summary: This study investigates the low-grade heat utilization in methanol-fired gas turbines and finds that low-grade heat utilization via methanol decomposition is more efficient than low-grade heat utilization via steam generation. The study also finds that maximal methanol decomposition is observed at a temperature above 300 degrees Celsius.

System-friendly process design: Optimizing blue hydrogen production for future energy systems

Schalk Cloete et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the effects of significant advances in CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technologies on future energy systems, and finds that CCS-enabled pathways offer benefits in the hydrogen sector, including reducing hydrogen prices and enabling negative CO2 emissions. Advanced blue hydrogen technologies can also reduce total system costs and increase efficiencies. Co-gasification of coal and biomass is identified as an important enabler of these results. The study suggests that CCS decarbonization pathways can incorporate substantial shares of renewable energy to reduce fossil fuel dependence and increase system resilience.

Ammonia to power: Forecasting the levelized cost of electricity from green ammonia in large-scale power plants

Zac Cesaro et al.

Summary: Green ammonia, synthesized from air, water, and renewable energy, is a carbon-free energy storage vector with numerous energy applications, including dispatchable green electricity. Techno-economic analysis shows that the cost of electricity production from green ammonia is projected to decrease with technological advancements, potentially allowing it to compete with other dispatchable low or zero-carbon technologies in the future.

Cost of long-distance energy transmission by different carriers

Daniel DeSantis et al.

Summary: This paper compares the relative cost of long-distance, large-scale energy transmission by electricity, gaseous, and liquid carriers. The higher cost of electrical transmission is primarily due to lower carrying capacity of electrical transmission lines compared to pipelines for gaseous and liquid fuels. The differences in transmission cost are important but often unrecognized, and should be considered in analysis of various renewable energy production, distribution, and utilization scenarios.

Recent progress in ammonia fuel cells and their potential applications

Georgina Jeerh et al.

Summary: Traditional technologies relying on fossil fuel exploitation have led to extensive environmental concerns, while hydrogen, as a carbon-free energy carrier, faces challenges in storage and long-distance transportation. However, ammonia as a promising indirect hydrogen storage medium with established storage and transportation links, offers potential as an accessible fuel source. The concept of 'green ammonia' synthesized from renewable energy sources is emerging, potentially opening significant markets and providing a pathway for decarbonization in applications reliant on fossil fuels.
