Abstract:Methanol is considered a sustainable alternative energy source due to its ease of storage and high-octane rating. However, the conventional methanol production process is accompanied by resource consumption and significant greenhouse gas emissions. The electrochemical reaction of electrochemically reacted hydrogen (H2) with captured carbon dioxide (CO2) offers an alternative route to methanol production. This paper presents a new green poly-generation system consisting of a parabolic trough solar collector (PT… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
