Magnetrons for H2, and then hydrocarbons production

Magnetrons for H2, and then hydrocarbons production. Author: David Judbarovski, systems engineering, principle inventor, retired; judbarovski.blogspot.com, davidjud.blogspot.com; 1939dmj@gmail.com, judbarovski@gmail.com . Abstract. Beams of several magnetrons are concentrated in the water to split it in hydrogen. If they are USD 40/ kw, energy efficiency 80%, and lifetime of 10,000 hours including repairs, and cheap electricity of 0.4 cents from special wind power generators, so cost of the energy, its Capex and Opex totally is (4000/10,000 + 0.4 ) / 0.8 = 1.0 cent/kwh, and a cost of hydrogen is 286,000 * 0.01 /3.6 / 2 = USD 400.0/ ton H2. CO2 + 4 * H2 = CH4 + 2 H2O + 254 KJ, so a cost of CH4 = ( 44 * 1144 kwh/ton CO2 * USD 0.004/ kwh + 8 * 400) /16 = USD 212 minus a sold heat transformed in electricity, being 254,000 / 3.6/ 16) kwh/ton CH4 * 0.25 energy efficiency the heat in electricity * USD 0.05/ kwh local tariff = USD 55/ ton., and totally CH4 = 212 – 55 = USD 157 = 110 /1000 m3. And CH2 cost = (157 * 16 – 2 * 400) /14 / 7 = USD 17.0 /bbl CH2 + Capex. References
