Alternative Production of GREEN HYDROGEN and SYNTHETIC FUELSwith AGT LTC + ACA Technology

Brief Project Description

The extraction of green hydrogen as motor fuel from renewable raw materials using the AGT technologies (developed by AGT and University of St. Andrews, Scotland). All types of oil and petrol can be produced with downstream components.

Situation

Since automobile traffic is considered to be an essential cause for CO2-related global warming, the costs for mineral products are becoming increasingly higher, and, since no long-term supply security exists, alternative motor fuels, especially H2, are being sought worldwide.

Problem

These energy sources included the produced products are not in the situation to solve the CO2 problem and can thus not make a real contribution to improvement. Until now only alcohol derivatives from fermenting processes and biodiesel from oleaginous fruits are truly CO2-neutral fuels. Through the admixture of low amounts of these alternatives to conventional petrol and diesel, an attempt is being made to improve the environmental situation without considerably increasing costs or having to risk technical problems in the service life of the motors.

Implication

The current economic impact of the global shutdown opens the opportunity for a new beginning with changed signs and the prevention of undesirable developments in terms of energy supply and use. Compared to existing processes for the energy-intensive production of expensive hydrogen by electrolysis, LTC+ACA synthesis (gas) liquefaction is the clean, efficient and cost-effective alternative.

AGT technologies can be used to produce green hydrogen, synthetic petrol and oils from organic matter (grass and all types of green plants mixed with waste wood). Alcohol develops from field crops that are high in sugar, rich gas from green grass and biomass that is high in wood; these substances can be further processed into HYDROGEN and fuels. In this way, large amounts of GREEN HYDROGEN and CO²-neutral synthetic fuels that are ultimately extracted from local, renewable raw materials can thus be produced using the LTC+ACA System Technology.

Benefits

  • The emission-free production of synthetic gas and fuels of the highest quality, as well as electricity from organic waste (e.g. coal, sewage sludge, vegetable waste, used tires, plastics and household waste).
  • The emission-free production of green hydrogen from organic waste (without electrolysis),
  • The separation of carbon from CO2 and at the same time the production of CMSs in large quantities with extremely low energy consumption.
  • Due to the wide range of possible uses of various organic materials and their specific processing to the desired products, large production volumes of HYDROGEN and fuel grades can be extracted.

GREEN HYDROGEN and FUELS FROM BIOMASS USING AGT LTC+ACA TECHNOLOGIES

Ecological fuels made of biomass are the innovative alternative for
⇐ Economic dependency on oil producing countries
⇐ CO² environmental problems due to fossil fuels

AGT LTC+ACA carbon sequestration technology is an unbeatable and cost-optimized contribution to the improvement of our atmosphere in the very short term. This means that CO2 is catalytically docked, treated and split in a separate process.

In a direct system comparison, clean hydrocarbons can be split into hydrogen and carbon or converted into petrol and diesel economically, at short notice and in sufficient quantities using conversion technology. In this way, a waste product becomes a valuable material.

Summary

Green hydrogen and alternative biofuels can be converted from biomass into high-quality, environmentally friendly diesel oils using the conversion method. The development now being tested by AGT will also allow CO2 to be used as a carbon carrier in the future.
