CO2-To-Diesel¤
Introduction¤
The carbon dioxide to diesel technology is a collection of thermochemical processes to transform captured CO2 and green H2 to a mixture of hydrocarbons: diesel and car gasoline. Carbon dioxide can be obtained by carbon capture in fossil fuel power plant, from biogas upgrading to biomethane with amine scrubbing or also from direct air and seawater carbon capture. The parameters of this technology are based on a carbon capture plant from biogas upgrading. The CO2 is sent to a reverse water gas shift reactor (RWGS) with green hydrogen deriving from a pressure swing adsorption unit. The product of this process is a synthetic gas combining CO and H2. The syngas is then transformed to hydrocarbons liquid thanks to the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis. The product distribution of the FT reactions is primarily driven by the choice of operating temperature. At high temperature, it results in Car Gasoline to diesel ratio of 2:1 and at low temperature, it results in car gasoline to diesel ratio of 1:2.
