POWER GENERATION USING HYDROGEN FUEL WITH ECONOMICAL CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE

摘要

Systems and methods for generating power using hydrogen fuel, such as derived from natural gas, are provided. Feed materials are introduced into a compact hydrogen generator to produce carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas. Sorbent material within the compact hydrogen generator acts to absorb carbon dioxide, forming a used sorbent. The hydrogen gas is separated from the used sorbent and passed to a power generator such as a hydrogen turbine to produce power. The used sorbent is introduced into a calciner and heated to desorb carbon dioxide and form a regenerated sorbent which can be recycled to the compact hydrogen generator.
