The 2024 Wind and Solar Hydrogen-Ammonia-Methanol Integrated Forum will be held on September 26 in Hangzhou. The conference will discuss the overall design, process optimization and digital twin technology application of wind-solar hydrogen-ammonia-methanol integration projects, the development trends of wind power and photovoltaics, and the outlook on green electricity costs. It will also cover hydrogen production from water electrolysis technology and equipment under power fluctuation environments, advanced processes and catalysts for green ammonia production, biomass gasification and water electrolysis green hydrogen coupled to produce green methanol, CO2 hydrogenation to methanol demonstration projects and operational experiences, as well as international standards and certifications for green ammonia and green methanol.
Alpha–olefins mainly include butene-1, hexene-1, octene-1, decene-1, and linear alpha olefin products such as C10-C20. The mainstream production processes include ethylene oligomerization, mixed C4 separation, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and paraffin cracking. High-end downstream products include polyolefins, POE, PAO, and high-carbon alcohols.
Professors Jie Zeng and Hongliang Li from the University of Science and Technology of China reported that they have designed and developed a Cu-Fe catalyst that can hydrogenate CO2 at atmospheric pressure, achieving a selectivity of 66.9% for long-chain olefins (C4+=), which is comparable to the selectivity of the latest catalyst optimized under high pressure (35 atmospheres) (66.8%).
The catalyst is activated from CuFeO2, containing Cu, Fe oxides, and iron carbide, referred to as activated CuFeO2. Iron oxide can produce CO through the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction. Meanwhile, CO undergoes carbonization mechanisms on iron carbide, and CO insertion occurs at the interface between copper and iron carbide. The synergistic effect of both enhances C-C coupling, which is beneficial for generating C4+=.
Using hydrogen from renewable energy to convert CO2 into long-chain olefins (C4+=) is currently a clean application method to reduce production from fossil energy resources. This research achieved efficient conversion of CO2 hydrogenation into long-chain hydrocarbons at atmospheric pressure through the activation of CuFeO2 catalyst.
The related results were published in the journal Nature Communications under the title “Ambient-pressure hydrogenation of CO2 into long-chain olefins“. Paper link: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-29971-5
The University of Science and Technology of China will give a presentation at the 2024 Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Forum to discuss“Research and Industrialization Prospects of CO2 to Alpha Olefin Technology.”
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is an important approach to achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality. In August 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment jointly issued the “Implementation Plan for Carbon Peak in the Industrial Sector,” proposing to accelerate the green and low-carbon technological transformation in industry and to break through and promote key core technologies such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage, and the resource utilization of carbon dioxide under mild conditions. In February 2024, the “State Council’s Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of a Waste Recycling System” pointed out support for the exploration and application of carbon dioxide resource utilization and carbon fixation technology models.
CO2 capture mainly includes two major paths: direct air carbon capture (DAC) and industrial flue gas capture. DAC has great development potential but is still in the technology research and preliminary demonstration stage, with high costs. Capturing CO2 from petrochemical, coal chemical, steel, cement, and power plant flue gas at low cost is the current mainstream direction, and reducing the energy consumption of carbon capture is a key focus of the industry. Integrated CO2 capture and conversion processes are expected to significantly reduce overall costs and are attracting industry attention.
The “Annual Report on CO2 Utilization Technologies and Projects in China” indicates that there are mainly two paths for producing high-value products from CO2: chemical synthesis and biological conversion. The Shenghong Petrochemical 100,000 tons/year CO2 to green methanol project was put into operation in September 2023. CO2 can be hydrogenated to synthesize green fuels and chemicals such as methanol, ethanol, methane, SAF, alpha olefins, aromatics, gasoline, etc.; CO2 can also be fermented to produce high-value products such as ethanol, methane, polylactic acid, PHA, and proteins. Chinese enterprises and research institutions are actively promoting the industrialization demonstration of CO2 to high-value product technologies.
The 2024 Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Forum will be held on September 27 in Hangzhou. The conference will discuss low-energy CO2 capture technologies from industrial flue gas, direct air carbon capture (DAC) technologies, geological storage of carbon dioxide and CO2-EOR demonstration experiences, CO2 electrocatalytic reduction and photocatalytic reduction technology research and pilot testing, CO2 to methanol, ethanol, methane, SAF, alpha olefins, aromatics, gasoline, carbonates, and biodegradable plastics, CO2 artificial synthesis of starch, CO2 biological conversion to high-value products, etc.
