Research into the Possibilities of Burning Hydrogen and Fossil Fuel with the Aim of Reducing its Carbon Footprint
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Requirements for increasing the environmental friendliness of electricity and heat production to reduce the emission footprint are increasing the demands on the used fuels. For the replacement of conventional fuels in the process of combined production of electricity and heat, it is possible to use synthetic gases, which are created during processes of thermal recovery of biomass and waste. The presented article discusses the possibilities of using synthesis gas obtained by thermal recovery of waste in a plasma reactor in cogeneration units. For the experiment, different ratios of mixtures of natural gas and synthesis gas were used to reduce the consumption of fossil fuel without significantly reducing the performance of the cogeneration unit. The primary combustibles in the synthesis gas were hydrogen and carbon monoxide, the calorific value of which differs from that of methane, causing changes in fuel consumption to maintain the required unit performance. For the full possibility of using synthesis gas as a replacement in cogeneration units, further research is necessary both in the field of its use in combustion engines and in the field of its acquisition and primary purification.
