This paper presents the integration of green methanol from a seasonal thermochemical energy storage system (TCES) coupled with district heating networks (DHN). It allows for a solar-based storage and low-temperature heat generation from the exothermic discharge reaction.
The multiobjective design of hybrid energy storage systems within the green methanol process ensures improved sustainability.
Thus, a large amount of energy is returned to the methanol storage, given the low efficiency of the synthesis reactor. This high value is due to the high calorific value of methanol, which is not utilized given the low heat of the synthesis reaction. Fig. 5. Sankey diagram (power in kW) for nominal operating conditions of the methanol-TCES system.
The proposed methanol TCES in district heating systems allows surplus heat generated by renewable energy sources to be stored for later use , whereas methanol can be obtained from cheap and clean feedstocks such as biomass .
Upcycling carbon dioxide (CO 2) and intermittently generated renewable hydrogen to stored products such as methanol (MeOH) allows the cyclic use of carbon and addresses the challenges of storage energy density, size and transportability as well as responsiveness to energy production and demand better than most storage alternatives.
