Abstract
The in-situ utilization of landfill gas (LFG) as the extra H2 source can boost the methanol (MeOH) production from the excavated waste (EW). In this study, EW&LFG-to-MeOH life-cycle systems with different LFG reforming ways, including the chemical looping (CL) and the autothermal dry reforming integrated with sorption-enhanced water gas shift (ATDR-SEWGS), are proposed. Schemes are named after letter A & B (denoting using 05EW and 15EW) and number 1 & 2 (denoting applying ATDR-SEWGS and CL). Results show that higher thermal self-satisfaction demands and reduced MeOH yield has brought the lower ηex in Scheme A2 (59.69 %) and B2 (60.79 %) than that of Scheme A1 (63.10 %) and B1 (63.21 %). The drop in the MeOH yield is more influential than the reduced energy consumption to the global warming (GW) impacts. The life-cycle GW for Schemes A1, A2, B1, and B2 is respective 866.81, 892.98, 512.39, and 524.74 kgCO2eq/tonMeOH. Economically, as the decrease in TCI and APC of the Schemes A2/B2 is more advantageous than the increase of AIC, reporting higher NPV of Schemes A2/B2 (79.27/75.96 M$) than that of Schemes A1/B1 (72.43/63.60 M$). In conclusion, Schemes A1/B1 and A2/B2 are preferable in environmental and economic aspects, respectively.
