Polygeneration system for chemical and power co-production has been regarded as one of the promising technologies for fossil fuel sustainable utilization. In this paper, a new polygeneration system with carbon capture is integrated, based on coal gas and coke oven gas inputs for methanol and...

Over recent years there has been a significant increase in the amount of technology contributing to lower emissions of carbon dioxide. The aim of this paper is to provide a comparison between two technologies for methanol production, both of which use carbon dioxide and hydrogen as initial raw...

By synthetically combining the utilization of different fuels and the co-production of alternative fuels and power, a multifunctional energy system (MES) can present more opportunities to achieve higher efficiency, lower investment, and less environmental impact as compared to traditional energy...

Polygeneration systems are commonly found in chemical and energy industry. These systems often involve chemical conversions and energy conversions. Studies of these systems are interdisciplinary, mainly involving fields of chemical engineering, energy engineering, environmental science, and...

Polygeneration system for chemical and power co-production has been regarded as one of promising technologies to use fossil fuel more efficiently and cleanly. In this paper the thermodynamic and economic performances of three types of coal-based polygeneration system were investigated and the...

A new kind of natural gas-based polygeneration system for methanol and power production is proposed in this paper. With the sequential connection between chemical production and power generation, the new system adopts innovative integration of partial-reforming and partial-recycle scheme in...
