High Efficiency Co-Production of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Transportation Fuels and Substitute Natural Gas (SNG) from Biomass.

摘要

Production of 'green' substitute natural gas (SNG) and transportation fuels will allow the use of the existing natural gas and transportation fuels infrastructure and, hence, make a gradual transition from the present fossil fuel-based energy supply system to a complete biomass-based economy possible. Gasification of biomass generates a product gas or synthesis gas that can be used to produce SNG and transportation fuels by methanation and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, respectively. The objective of the underlying study was to determine the technical and economic feasibility of large-scale systems of co-production of 'green' FT transport fuels and 'green' SNG from biomass.
