Integration of Amine Scrubbing and Power to Gas

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Energy Storage

Abstract

Among the different Power to Gas hybridizations proposed to improve the efficiency of PtG energy storage technology, the integration with amine scrubbing process as carbon source is the most mature option. The concept, main operation parameters and points of integration are described in the first section of this chapter. Two application cases are also presented to illustrate the real operation and efficiencies of the concept. First, an integration with electrochemical industry is presented. This configuration, which appears to be economically feasible under current scenario, avoids the typical water electrolysis stage of PtG since hydrogen is available. A second case study describes a new concept to control nuclear power production through the joint operation of a nuclear power plant, a coal power plant with amine scrubbing capture and a PtG plant. The cost effectiveness of this technology and its capability to reduce the CO2 emissions are assessed through the design and economic and environmental analysis of a hybrid facility.
