An experimental study of the CO2-CH4 [carbon dioxide: methane] reforming-methanation cycle as a mechanism for converting and transporting solar energy

The CO2-CH4 reforming-methanation chemical cycle provides an attractive means of transporting solar energy to a central station in accord with the Solchem concept. A number of receiver elements (chemical reactors) have been tested in the laboratory in an effort to optimize the catalyst parameters an...

description The CO2-CH4 reforming-methanation chemical cycle provides an attractive means of transporting solar energy to a central station in accord with the Solchem concept. A number of receiver elements (chemical reactors) have been tested in the laboratory in an effort to optimize the catalyst parameters and the catalyst-reactor configuration. These tests led to the design and fabrication of both prototype and full scale production model Solchem receivers which were operated successfully at the White Sands Solar Furnace. The development of energy delivery methanation reactors is proceeding along with the design of both laboratory and field-model closed-loop Solchem systems.
