项目摘要

Domestic oil and gas production is declining and the deployment of fracking within the UK has stalled. Therefore the UK needs new enhanced sources of clean energy. In 2014, 2.6 million tonnes (Mt) of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) was exported from the UK and 14.7Mt of suitable input material was landfilled (source: Defra). In the same year, industrial energy consumption was 24Mt of oil equivalent (Mtoe), of this 8Mtoe was gas consumption (including blast furnace, coke oven, town and natural gas). (source: DECC - Energy consumption in the UK (2015)). Not all fossil gas burning industry uses the heat to generate steam, many industrial customers use the gas directly in their processes, and in contact with their product, and thus require the gas to be clean to avoid contaminating their product. Examples of some of these industrial applications would be; lime manufacture (kilns), brickwork manufacture (kilns), earthenware / potteries (kilns), grain drying and sugar beet drying. To enable these industries to prosper, a UK sourced low carbon clean alternative is needed. Conventional pyrolysis and gasification of RDF produces a hot syngas that has tars and oils contained within the gas stream. These tars and oils prevent the syngas being used for many applications. This new technology produces a clean syngas which will reduce: emissions associated with the transportation of RDF abroad; the fossil gas carbon release with the substitution of the clean renewable syngas; the fossil gas carbon emissions associated with electrical network losses in transmitting the power generated back to the UK. The amount of waste exported from UK as RDF in 2014 was 2.6Mt. Assuming a net average electrical potential of 0.6 MWh per tonne (RDF with a CV around 10 MJ/kg) provides an estimate of 1,560 GWh of potential electrical energy exported. In heat terms, assuming a thermal capacity of 1.2 MWh per tonne, this would estimate a loss of potential heat source from England of 3,120 GWh (source: CIWM). The development of the full scale integrated prototype pyrolysis and associated syngas clean-up system has demonstrated the concept of producing a clean contaminant free syngas. Through a 12 mth trial this project aims to exploit the technology development achieved to-date, and to demonstrate the robust, repeatable, and consistent production of syngas and substantiate the inputs to a financial model; to a degree of accuracy that technical assessors for funding, planning and permitting bodies will require; successful delivery of the project will enable the technology's commercialisation which will enable it to be part of the energy trilemma solution. Although there are other large gasification plants, one of the unique selling points of this development is that this patented (feed input to gas generation) small scale modular system can be built alongside the gas customer.

国内石油和天然气产量正在下降，英国境内水力压裂的部署也陷入停滞。因此，英国需要新的增强型清洁能源。 2014 年，英国出口了 260 万吨垃圾衍生燃料 (RDF)，并填埋了 147 万吨合适的输入材料（来源：Defra）。同年，工业能耗为24Mt油当量（Mtoe），其中8Mtoe为燃气消耗（包括高炉、焦炉、城镇燃气和天然气）。（来源：DECC - 英国能源消耗（2015 年））。并非所有化石气体燃烧工业都使用热量来产生蒸汽，许多工业客户在其工艺中直接使用气体并与其产品接触，因此要求气体清洁以避免污染其产品。其中一些工业应用的例子是：石灰制造（窑炉）、砖瓦制造（窑炉）、陶器/陶器（窑炉）、谷物干燥和甜菜干燥。为了使这些行业繁荣发展，需要一种源自英国的低碳清洁替代品。 RDF 的常规热解和气化产生热合成气，气流中含有焦油和油。这些焦油和油阻止了合成气用于许多应用。这项新技术产生的清洁合成气将减少：与 RDF 国外运输相关的排放；用清洁的可再生合成气替代化石气体的碳排放；与将产生的电力传输回英国的电网损失相关的化石气体碳排放。 2014 年英国以 RDF 形式出口的废物量为 2.6 公吨。假设每吨净平均电势为 0.6 MWh（RDF 的 CV 约为 10 MJ/kg），则可估计潜在的电能输出为 1,560 GWh。就热量而言，假设每吨热容量为 1.2 MWh，则估计英格兰的潜在热源损失为 3,120 GWh（来源：CIWM）。全尺寸集成原型热解和相关合成气净化系统的开发展示了生产清洁无污染合成气的概念。通过为期 12 个月的试验，该项目旨在利用迄今为止所取得的技术开发成果，展示合成气的稳健、可重复和一致的生产，并证实财务模型的输入；达到资助、规划和许可机构的技术评估人员要求的准确性；该项目的成功交付将使该技术实现商业化，从而成为能源困境解决方案的一部分。尽管还有其他大型气化厂，但该开发项目的独特卖点之一是，这种获得专利的（气体生成的进料输入）小型模块化系统可以与天然气客户一起建造。
