| 摘要 |
A method and system for the production of energy-providing fuels, and particularly methanol or methanol-based derivatives, is disclosed. The system includes a methanol synthesis unit (20) that receives a supply of coal (116) and a supply of oxygen (114) from which methanol or a methanol-based fuel is synthesized and excess carbon dioxide is produced. A photovoltaic cell system (2) generates a DC power supply (102) that is provided to an electrolysis system (4) receiving a supply of water (104) to generate a further supply of oxygen (108) and a supply of hydrogen (106). The photovoltaic cell system (2) and electrolysis (4) can be located remotely from the methanol synthesis unit (20). The supply of hydrogen is transported by a pipeline (110) to a methanol production unit (16) that also receives the supply (112) of excess carbon dioxide. The methanol production unit (16) is located at the site of the methanol synthesis unit (20), and produces further methanol or a methanol-based fuel. |
