Development State and Economic Analysis of Hydrogen Storage Technology in Methanol
The development state of hydrogen storage technology by methanol is discussed synthetically in four key aspects:methanol production from hydrogen,transport and storage of methanol,hydrogen production by methanol and hydrogen purification,and the economic benefits of this technology is analyzed.For the aspect of methanol production from hydrogen,the route using CO as the carbon source is relatively mature,while the route using CO2 as the carbon source is still in the process of technological research and small and medium-sized trials.For the transport and storage of methanol,the overall circulation trend in China is from northwest to southeast.For the hydrogen production from methanol,steam reforming is the main method and the technology is relatively mature.For the hydrogen purification process,pressure swing adsorption is the main method.The economic analysis of the hydrogen storage in methanol technology shows that route using CO as the carbon source is superior to the route using CO2 as the carbon source.
