PROCESS AND APPARATUS OF CO2 ENERGY SOURCE ADOPTED IN SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL - CO2 ENERGY CONVERSION CYCLE

摘要

A process and apparatus of “Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC)-CO₂ Energy Conversion Cycle (referred to as SOFC-CO₂-ECC)” are invented to adopt CO₂ as energy sources from waste/stock gas or convert and fix it in the useful compounds. CO₂ is converted into CO and O₂ via simultaneously catalytic and electrochemical reactions in SOFC for power generation and CO₂ cracking. Furthermore, CO is used either as the fuel in SOFC for power generation or starting materials in the chemical reactors to produce CO-derivatives of energy source materials and useful chemical compounds. Hence, SOFC-CO₂-ECC is an active or scientific carbon cycle with zero emission of CO₂. Thus, the efficacy of environmental protection via solving the problem of CO₂ greenhouse effect is achieved, so as to grasp of the “Right of Carbon Emission Trading” issues.
