COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS DECARBONIZATION&OPTIMIZATION

 

BACKGROUND:

With more than 1 600 GW of installed generation capacity in 2010 according to IEA analyses the global coal-fired power plant fleet accounts for more than 8,5 Gigatonnes (GT) of CO2 emission each year. Over the past six years capacity additions experienced record-growth of more than 350 GW. Future energy generation scenarios by IEA expect an additional 1 000 GW by 2035. It means that in the aim to catch up with growing energy demand the global coal fired power plant fleet will almost double its capacity during the 2010-2035 period contrary to Paris climate agreement.

 

COMPARING ALTERNATIVES TO OXYHYDROGEN

 

• Carbon capture and storage (CCS): In order to achieve deep cuts in worldwide CO2 emissions older scenario suggest that nearly all new-built coal fired power plants need to be equipped with CCS in the coming decades. In addition CCS would need to be added to already installed global coal fired power plant fleet. Notably despite huge cost to capture and bury CO2, CCS do not provide complete decarbonization solution.

• Grey and blue hydrogen: It is traditionally produced via steam reforming ( SMR ) or auto thermal reforming ( ATR ) of fossil fuels which ultimately creates more emissions.

• Green Hydrogen: The most perspective alternative using 100% renewable electricity to produce Hydrogen. Unfortunately the overall efficiency of the process is relatively low – around 60% meaning that some 40% of the renewable energy is lost during the process. Despite of extensive promoting, there is no such thing as a Zero Emission Hydrogen manufacturing plant. Hydrogen also accelerates the creation of emissions when co-burned with other fossil or biomass fuels.

 

All of these options have their difficulties and drawbacks. None of them is anywhere close to efficiency and cost parity with Oxyhydrogen.

 

OXYDROGEN AS EMISSION REDUCTION POTENTIAL

 

 

In comparison with all fuels that explode including Hydrogen thus creating emissions Oxyhydrogen implodes while generating extremely high temperature therefore providing huge emission destruction potential. Only Oxyhydrogen is known to factually reduce emissions from the combustion of any fuel.

 

HG 2014 SOLUTION FOR EMISSION REDUCTION&COAL FIRED POWER PLANT OPTIMIZATION

 

The dissociation of CO2 at very high temperatures has been long proven by St .Claire- Deville and further determined by Bjerrum via explosive method. Oxyhydrogen being the only fuel capable of burning at extremely high temperatures in combination with implosion is providing even more beneficial results. HG 2014 high temperature screen developed by Hydrogenica Corporation is a viable solution for significant emission reduction.

The heat generated by HG 2014 high temperature screen is further utilized in recuperation cycle to produce electrical energy which covers the consumption of HG 2014 screen itself and the surplus is optimizing the efficiency of the power plant. This fact in combination with savings from allowances provides unparalleled cost reduction.
