Study on the Coal-Based Synfuels System Coupled with Nuclear Energy
Abstract:
Coal-based synfuels plants are facing serious pressure on CO2 emissions reduction. Developing the coal-based synfuels system coupled with nuclear energy is an effective approach to reduce CO2 emissions. This work analyzes CO2 emissions features in the coal-based synfuels system, and further investigates three coupling paths between the coal-based synfuels system and nuclear energy. Subsequently, an inherent-safety and low-carbon coal-based synfuels system coupled with nuclear energy is proposed. In the coupled system, valley nuclear power is provided to conventional water electrolyser for hydrogen/oxygen production, and oxygen and hydrogen are supplied to the coal gasification and fuel synthesis processes, respectively. The simulation results show that the coupled system can reduce about 50% raw coal consumption and almost all CO2 emissions compared to the conventional coal-based synfuels system, meanwhile it can improve the peak shaving capacity of nuclear power plants.
