Abstract

A system and process is provided for capturing industrial emissions comprising carbon dioxide and sulfur compounds and producing therefrom sulfuric acid and methanol, thus reducing unwanted pollution and converting the undesired waste gases to valuable chemical products. The system comprises an oxygen production unit, a combustion unit for receiving an industrial emissions stream and oxygen, and producing an oxidized emission stream, a catalytic acid production unit to produce sulfuric acid, a hydrogen production unit, a gas conversion unit for producing methanol, and preferably an energy recovery unit to recover reaction heat. The system and process are suitable for recover emission from sulfur emitting geothermal power plants.

Abstract

A process for producing high octane fuel from carbon dioxide and water is disclosed. The feedstock for the production line is industrial carbon dioxide and water, which may be of lower quality. Water is electrolysed into hydrogen and oxygen. The end product can be high octane gasoline, high cetane diesel or other liquid hydrocarbon mixtures suitable for driving conventional combustion engines or hydrocarbon suitable for further industrial processing or commercial use. Products, such as dimethyl ether or methanol may also be withdrawn from the production line. The process is emission free and reprocesses all hydrocarbons not suitable for liquid fuel to form high octane products. The heat gerated by exothermic reactions in the process is fully utilized as is the heat produced in the reprocessing of hydrocarbons not suitable for liquid fuel.
