Retrofitting the natural gas combined cycle through integration with chemical looping hydrogen generation and ammonia synthesis toward a carbon-neutral trigeneration system
The global electricity sector is currently dominated by fossil fuels, posing a significant challenge to achieving net-zero emissions targets. Decarbonizing the power sector while utilizing existing fossil fuel-based power plants is essential. Natural gas (NG), the second-largest source of electricity globally, can be partially replaced with hydrogen (H2) and/or ammonia (NH3). A 50:50 M mixture of H2 and NH3 offers a promising solution, providing a flame speed comparable to NG while addressing these limitations. Despite this potential, H2 production is still predominantly reliant on fossil fuel-based grey H2. In this study, the integration of biomass CLHG, NH3 synthesis, and an existing 500 MW NGCC power plant was investigated through process simulation and off-design analysis. This approach addressed key limitations of conventional H2 and NH3 production pathways and assessed necessary modifications to accommodate H2-NH3 co-firing while maintaining efficiency. The CLHG system achieved an H2 production efficiency of 75 %, while the NH3 synthesis process exhibited an efficiency of 63 %. When NG was replaced by the H2-NH3 mixture, the overall efficiency of the system decreased from 56.19 % to 47.1 %, primarily due to fuel production processes. Under partial load conditions, the efficiency trends of NGCC were comparable to those observed in conventional NGCC systems, except at 40 % load, due to the high steam flow rate in the heat recovery steam generator. The calculated levelized cost of electricity for the integrated system was 0.1075 USD/kWh, lower than that of imported fuels. Additionally, the levelized costs of H2 and NH3 were 1.439 USD/kg-H2 and 0.365 USD/kg-NH3, respectively. By leveraging a steady-state CLHG-NH3 system with flexible NGCC operation, this study presents a viable pathway for decarbonizing NGCC plants while ensuring cost competitiveness in a transitioning energy market.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cleaner Production is an international, transdisciplinary journal that addresses and discusses theoretical and practical Cleaner Production, Environmental, and Sustainability issues. It aims to help societies become more sustainable by focusing on the concept of 'Cleaner Production', which aims at preventing waste production and increasing efficiencies in energy, water, resources, and human capital use. The journal serves as a platform for corporations, governments, education institutions, regions, and societies to engage in discussions and research related to Cleaner Production, environmental, and sustainability practices.
