POLYGENERATION SCHEME WITH ZERO CARBON EMISSION

Fuente: WIPO "circular economy"
A circular economy polygeneration system includes an electrolyzer operable to provide hydrogen and oxygen based on water. The system includes a hydrogen firing furnace operable to burn hydrogen and produce a first flue gas including water and nitrogen. The system also includes an oxy-firing furnace operable to burn hydrocarbon fuel with oxygen provided by the electrolyzer to produce a second flue gas comprising water and carbon dioxide. Moreover, the system includes a first condenser configured to produce nitrogen and a first stream of water based on the first flue gas. The system further includes a second condenser configured to produce carbon dioxide and a second stream of water based on the second flue gas. The first and second stream of water are used by the electrolyzer to provide the hydrogen and oxygen. Additionally, the system includes a carbon capture system operable to capture carbon dioxide produced by the second condenser.
