eReactor4H2
Induction-heated conversion reactors can dramatically reduce both investment and operating costs for such plants.
Background
- H2 usage from intermittendrenewable electricity requires ultralong term hydrogen storage capacity
- Methanol is one of the most promising candidates for the hydrogen storage, but it is very costly to retrieve H2.
- Induction heated conversion reactors may drastically reduce both investment and operation costs of such plant.
Objectives
To develop an induction-driven e-reactor concept for the methanol-to-H2 conversion process.
- Establishment of design criteria for the new reactor concept.
- Selection/manufacture of catalyst/heat source
- Simulation model for the scaling up of the process
