Supercheap and clean hydrocarbons' production
David Judbarovski, systems engineering, principle inventor. Judbarovski.blogspot.com, judbarovski@gmail.com. Note. Solar and Wind energy can be cheapened down to USD 0.01/kWh and even less. [1] Abstract. (1) 2CH2 (alkane) + 2H2O = CH4 + CO2 + 2.3 H2 , dH = 72 kJ, dS = 220 J/mol*K (2) CO2 + (3 – 2.3/2)H2 = CH2 + 2H2O. exothermic. OPEX cost of alkane is USD 30 /ton CH2, or USD 4.0 /bbl. (3) = (1). OPEX cost of CH4 = (2 * 14 * 30 + 72 * 1.1) /16 = $ 57 /ton CH4 = $ 40 /1000 m3. In its turn CH4--->CH2 estimated analogously, it gaves CH2 = $2.0/bbl and $20 / 1000 m3 CH4. References.
