Engineered fuel storage, respeciation and transport

摘要

Techniques, systems and material are disclosed for thermochemical regeneration of biomass into renewable engineered fuel, storage of the renewable engineered fuel, respeciation of the renewable engineered fuel and transport. In one aspect, a method includes generating low density hydrogen fuel from biomass dissociation at a first location of a low elevation. The low density hydrogen fuel is self-transported in a pipeline to a second location at a higher elevation than the first location by traveling from the first location to the second location without adding energy of pressure. A high density hydrogen carrier is generated at the second location of higher elevation by reacting the low density hydrogen fuel with at least one of a carbon donor, a nitrogen donor and an oxygen donor harvested from industrial waste. The high density hydrogen carrier is delivered to a third location of a lower elevation than the second location while providing pressure or kinetic energy.

1. A method of transporting renewable fuel, the method comprising:
generating low density hydrogen fuel from biomass dissociation at a first location of a low elevation; self-transporting the low density hydrogen fuel in a pipeline to a second location at a higher elevation than the first location, wherein the low density hydrogen fuel travels from the first location to the second location without adding energy or pressure; generating a high density hydrogen carrier at the second location of higher elevation by reacting the low density hydrogen fuel with at least one of a carbon donor, a nitrogen donor and an oxygen donor; and delivering the high density hydrogen carrier to a third location of a lower elevation than the second location while providing pressure or kinetic energy.
