Patent GB-2456169-A (GB)
Title: A method and associated apparatus for the production of hydrogen and/or electric energy
Inventor: SELJOM PERNILLE MERETHE SIRE
IPC: C25B1/04
Filed: 2008-01-04
Abstract: The method and process comprise: feeding substantially pure oxygen and a carbonaceous fuel in a stochiometric ratio to a combustor 1, combusting the oxygen and carbonaceous fuel in the combustor 1 to form an energy rich exhaust gas comprising steam and CO2. At least a part of the energy of the exhaust gas exiting the combustor is converted into electric energy, and thereafter the exhaust gas is separated into a substantially pure water fraction 6 and a gaseous fraction containing CO2 5 by condensing the water fraction. The gaseous CO2 containing fraction is converted to means for storing or sequestering the CO2. The water 6 is then fed to an electrolysis reactor 2 by passing from 0 to 100 % of the condensed water, and the remaining water fraction from an external water source. From 0 to 100 % of the produced electric energy 11 is passed to the electrolysis reactor 2 for decomposing water to hydrogen gas and oxygen gas by electrolysis in the electrolysis reactor 2. The remaining fraction of the produced electric energy to is fed to a net grid, and the produced oxygen gas in the electrolysis reactor 2 to the combustor 1.
