Zero carbon energy from hydrocarbon fuels and sunlight

摘要

The instant invention comprises improved Means for the creation of electrical energy, mechanical energy, H₂, O₂ and other useful products; wherein, there is minimal to no release of CO_X, NO_X or SO_X. The instant invention comprises Reforming and Sunlight to create H₂; wherein CO₂ from Reforming is converted to O₂ in a 3d PBR; and wherein, Sunlight is converted into electrical energy and/or H₂ and O₂. The instant invention comprises Means for production of at least one of H₂ and O₂ from Sunlight; wherein, use of Sunlight is significantly and unexpectedly improved. The instant invention separates Sunlight into two wavelength portions, that which is Infrared and that which is Visible; wherein, Infrared heats an Aqueous Solution to produce electricity from steam; and wherein, Visible produces electricity via PV and/or is supplied to the 3d PBR. The instant invention relates to improved methods for combustion of H₂ and O₂.
