Abstract.
USD 11.5 /ton CO, H2 is down to USD 150 /ton, and hydrocarbons of USD 6 / bbl. They are OPEX, and in order of magnitude cheapеr than prices of fossil fuels and can exploit existing infrostructure.
(a) CO2 [1] + H2 = CO + H20 - 3 kJ negligible. CO2, CO and H2 are circular. If Q served for a cost, Q(CO) * 28 = Q(H) * 2, so Q(CO) = Q(H) / 14.
(b) [2] CO + 1.5 H2O = CO2 + 1.5 H2 + 0.25 O2 + 146 kJ. 146 kJ = 146 * 4/ 3.6 [3],[4] = USD 161.0 /Mmol.. Really, 1.5 * 2 * Q(H) = Q(CO) * 28 + USD 161 = 2 * Q(H) + USD 161, so Q(H) = USD 161 /ton H2.
Q(CO) * 28 = Q(H) * 2, so Q(CO) = Q(H)/14 = USD 11.5. QED !
CO2 + 3 H2 = CH2 + 2 H2O - 239 kJ. 239,000 * 0.3(efficiency heat in electricity) * 0.03(tariff) /3.6 = USD 600.0. So Q(CH2) = (44 * Q(CO2) + 3 * 2 * Q(H) - USD 600) / 14 = (44 * 5 + 6 * 161 - 600) /14 = 586 / 14 = USD 42 / ton CH2 = USD 5.85 / bbl.
Instead of attractive, but problematic reaction (b), it can be considered spontaneous reaction CO + 1.2 H20 = CO2 + 1.2 H2 + 0.1 O2, to produce H2 of USD 150 /ton, and further hydrocarbon fuels are USD 5.6 / bbl.
