Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO031: Methanol production using electricity from wind farms: project analysis
Mayara Adrielly Leal de O. Rodrigues, Researcher, CREATION/UFRN
Abstract
In line with the global evolution of the energy transition, it is urgent that countries join forces to achieve the goals set out in the Paris Agreement, limiting the increase in the Earth's temperature to 1.5°C by 2050. From this perspective, green hydrogen (GH2) is considered essential for the decarbonization process of the global economy and methanol produced through its combination with CO2, called e-methanol, has been gaining attention in this scenario. E-methanol stands out as a highly versatile chemical product for various sectors of the chemical industry, such as the production of formaldehyde, acetic acid and plastics. In addition, e-methanol is considered a fuel with high energy density when compared to compressed and liquid hydrogen, and is easy to store and transport, since it is liquid at room temperature and pressure. Hard-to-abate economic sectors, such as maritime and aviation, consider e-methanol as the major alternative for use in their decarbonization policies. The study aims to technologically analyze e-methanol production projects using wind energy in different countries. The research was developed in 3 stages: 1) theoretical research, 2) case study and 3) correlational analysis. The results were: (i) Through the development of production technologies, the LCoM of e-methanol will be lower than the LCoM of gray methanol in the long term, (ii) the principal e-methanol production route is the direct hydrogenation of CO2, using GH2 and biogenic CO2, (iii) the major technical bottleneck is the integration of intermittent electricity into the production process, (iv) the CAPEX of the electrolyzer is the main economic bottleneck and, finally, (v) the port environment is strategic, with the maritime sector being the main offtaker of the projects.
