Main results of preliminary simulated case studies.
| ID | Product | Description | Main outcomes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | CH4 | 100% utilization of the available POGs to produce methane | Largest hydrogen and consequently electrolysis requirement (between about 2 and 4 GW) | Almost complete carbon and H2 conversion |
| 2 | CH4 | Methanation of POGs that are currently used in the power plant | ||
| 3 | CH4 | Methanation of specific amounts of the POGs in order to replace the NG demands of the plant | ||
| 4 | CH3OH | Methanol synthesis of POGs that are currently used in the power plant | Reusing the residual hydrogen and/or optimum hydrogen utilization during methanol synthesis can significantly reduce the associated electrolysis demands | |
| 5 | CH4 + CH3OH | Methanation of specific amounts of the POGs in order to replace the NG demands of the plant and for the production of significant quantities of methanol | ||
