Techno-economic analysis of green methanol production via biomass gasification coupled with green hydrogen
利用可再生能源制氢合成绿色甲醇可解决绿电消纳问题,也是二氧化碳减排的重要途径之一。为开展绿色甲醇项目方案设计,并评估项目的技术经济可行性,以东北某绿色甲醇项目为例,对生物质气化耦合绿氢制备绿色甲醇的技术路线和工艺流程开展了论证。结合新能源发电的波动性,分时段调度控制,以项目经济性最优为目标,通过实时电量平衡法模拟匹配,获得了500 MW风电装机规模下的制氢规模为52000 m
The production of green hydrogen using renewable energy to synthesize green methanol can solve the problem of renewable energy consumption and is also one of the important ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In order to design a green methanol project and assess its technical and economic feasibility
a case study of a green methanol project in Northeast China was conducted. The technical route and process flow of biomass gasification coupled with renewable energy hydrogen production for green methanol synthesis were evaluated. Considering the volatility of renewable energy generation
time-period scheduling control was applied. With the goal of optimizing the project’s economic performance
the real-time power balance method was used to simulate and match
resulting in a hydrogen production capacity of 52000 m³/h for a 500 MW wind power installation. Additionally
the effective hydrogen storage capacity is 221 × 10
4
m³
and the green methanol production capacity is 160000 t/a. Under the given boundary conditions
internal rate of return (
IRR
)
payback period
total return on investment
and net profit margin on equity were selected as the economic indicators. With a project financial
IRR
(after tax) of 6%
the green methanol price is calculated to be 5324.06 CNY/t. Additionally
the payback period (after tax) is 12.25 a
the financial
IRR
on equity is 11.91%
the total return on investment is 4.19%
and the net profit margin on equity is 12.59%. The project is economically viable. The proposed project plan is feasible
meets relevant standards and engineering requirements
