Conversion of greenhouse gases to synthetic fuel using a sustainable cyclic plasma process

In the present article, a new thermodynamic process is proposed in which thermal plasma reactor utilised to dissociate carbon dioxide/steam blend into synthetic fuel using chemical looping technology. Chrome/chrome oxide (Cr/Cr2O3) pair was used as oxygen carrier and also transport medium between fluidized bed reactor. The hybridised with renewable energy resources including solar photovoltaic wind account for demand of Results showed that at molar ratio CO2/Cr = 1.12 steam/Cr 2.8, syngas quality referred H2: CO > 2.05, suitable liquid production Fischer-Tropsch applications. Also, reached conversion >0.99 5273 K, while SFR represented extent >0.95 1473 K. highest efficiency 0.43 3 MW electricity capacity could be by aiming improving self-sustaining factor system. integration system Whyalla, South Australia, penetration can high 68.4% battery storage 30 MWh together an installed 50 37.5 panels turbines, respectively.
