An Economic Analysis of Coal-bed Methane for Hydrogen Production in the Jincheng Region
Jincheng's proven CBM reserves are 370.6 billion cubic metres,accounting for more than half of the province and more than two-fifths of the country.In recent years,Jincheng has been promoting the efficient development and utilization of coal-bed methane(CBM)through technological innovation.This paper compares the cost of hydrogen production from different power sources through an analysis of the cost of CBM power generation,coal power generation and photovoltaic power generation,this paper discusses the feasibility of generating electricity and hydrogen by electrolysis of water from coal-bed methane to increase the added value of coal-bed methane.
