Carbon is rejected and the hydrogen produced is reacted with CO2 recovered from power generation to make methanol. The integrated process claimed to result in a net reduction in CO2 emissions compared to conventional processing of oil for transport fuels, together with power generation from fossil fuels. The overall objective of this study is to assess the competitiveness of carbon rejection schemes as means of CO2 abatement. The current and future world market potential for carbon black will be assessed. The reject carbon produced is not used in the Camol process, it is either stored or sold.
Methanol is used as transport fuel.
Natural gas will be used in the hydrogen generation process and coal in the power generation. An alternate case will illustrate the effects of using natural gas in both the hydrogen production and the power generation step. The results will include derivation of the costs of reducing CO2 emissions.
