(81b) Optimizing the Sabatier Reaction for Sustainable Green LNG Production: Improving Thermal Efficiency and Emissions Reduction

Global energy demand has increased significantly in recent decades, creating an urgent need to address carbon emissions. In our previous studies, we explored the innovative application of the Sabatier reaction for producing green liquefied natural gas (SNG). By utilizing carbon dioxide and hydrogen as feedstocks, the Sabatier process offers a sustainable pathway for converting renewable energy into a carbon-neutral fuel source.
In this study, we investigate the thermal efficiency and heat recovery potential of the Sabatier reaction, emphasizing its advantages in energy utilization and emissions reduction. Our findings indicate that optimizing these parameters can significantly enhance the sustainability and feasibility of green LNG production. We used CHEMCAD, licensed by Chemstations, for process simulation to validate our results.
This research underscores the vital role of advanced chemical processes in facilitating the transition to a low-carbon economy.
