Methods and Systems for Synthesizing Ammonia

Methods and systems for synthesizing NH3 with a very low CO2 footprint are provided. A fuel is oxidized in a power generator to generate electrical energy and an exhaust comprising CO2 and H2O. CO2 and H2O in the exhaust are separated to produce a CO2-depleted H2O stream and a CO2 stream. H2O from t...

Zusammenfassung:	Methods and systems for synthesizing NH3 with a very low CO2 footprint are provided. A fuel is oxidized in a power generator to generate electrical energy and an exhaust comprising CO2 and H2O. CO2 and H2O in the exhaust are separated to produce a CO2-depleted H2O stream and a CO2 stream. H2O from the H2O stream is electrolyzed using the generated electrical energy to synthesize gaseous O2 and the H2. The synthesized gaseous O2 is used, at least in part, to oxidize the fuel in the power generator. The CO2 in the CO2 stream is sequestered. Ammonia (NH3) with a very low CO2 footprint is synthesized from the H2 and gaseous N2.
