Energy Reform with Reforming Technology

What world leaders agreed to in the 2015 Paris Agreement, to reduce global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, there must be a reduction in world emissions by 45% by 2030 and Net Zero Emissions by 2050. More than half of the time from 2015 to 2030 has now passed, will this target still be achieved?

Maybe it won't be achieved if we only rely on the efforts of governments in the world. But those who live on this earth are us - ordinary people all over the world, regardless of who our leaders are, we need fresh air, clean and affordable fuel etc., so reducing emissions is our business - we should too.

And this is what we do at the Advanced Renewable Organization (ARO), an alliance of research communities, scientists, thinkers and business people who are concerned about the ins and outs of energy, emissions and efficiency (E3) to be able to provide the best works for the world.

Somple of those works are series of reactors that we introduced previously, including the BTX reactor (https://lnkd.in/giTxj9DR) to convert any biomass around us into all the types of fuel that we use most, such as LPG, gasoline, diesel and even jet-fuel.

With these reactors, industries, communities, regions and even countries that do not have oil sources will be able to produce their own clean fuel, because waste, CO2 emissions and water which are the raw materials are always everywhere. This is from the side of responsible energy production, what about the consumption side?

Energy reform will only be complete if the consumption or they way we use energy also changes. We know that energy use in Internal Combustion Engines (ICE), which is the most widely used engine in the world today, is only in the range of 25% - 30% efficiency, so there is a big opportunity for energy savings through increasing this efficiency.

One of them is the use of fuel cell technology whose average efficiency is already above 50%. When this fuel cell technology is combined with the latest reforming technology from ARO which we call Steam Reforming and Shift (SRS), which involves Steam Reforming reaction (reaction 1) and Water Gas Shift (reaction 2), the biogasoline fuel produced with BTX is above, will be able to run hydrogen fuel cells which have a much greater capacity than pure hydrogen fuel.

From these two reactions, 1 m3 of gasoline in a tank with a pressure of 1 Bar which is used to deliver H2 using SRS technology, will be able to deliver 317 kg of H2, or almost 8 times that of 1 m3 of pure H2 in a tank with a pressure of 700 bar! Storing and carrying petrol is certainly much easier and cheaper than storing H2. So the above is one form of responsible production and consumption, on affordable clean energy (SDG 12 and 7).
