Abstract.
Extremally cheap renewable energy can change a game in industry production, and in chemical industry in particular.
Solar and wind energy can be as cheap as 0.4 US cents / kWh , and being converted in cheap artificial fuels, it allows huge amounts of renewable energy to be integrated in national grids. the said thesis was shortly disclosed in [1], [2], [3]. and so on.
CO being one of key materials for chemistry and artificial fuel production cheaply and by ecofriendly way, it is as an example shown here just below. See attentively.
(1) C + H2 = CO + H2 - 176 kJ.
If C = USD 120 / ton, so CO + H2 = ( 12 * 120 + 176 * 4 / 3.6 ) = USD 1640.
If at first stage CO is USD 50 / ton or more, H2 is less than ( 1640 - 28 * 50 ) / 2 = USD 120 / ton H2 = US cents 12 / kg.
(2} CO2 + H2 = ( formic acid) = CO + H2O + 3 kJ negligible.
So CO = ( 5 * 44 + 2 * 120 ) / 28 = USD 16.4 / ton CO.at the second stage.
(3) So totally, CO = (50 + 16.4 ) = USD 33.2 / ton CO.
(a) Such technology has reached the futuristic price goal announced by National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA for next about 20 years.
(b) It is carbon neutral technology.
