Description
The title of the invention: INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION AS A MEANS OF
REDUCING CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS
Background of the Invention [001] Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a significant impact on global warming.
REDUCING CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS
Background of the Invention [001] Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a significant impact on global warming.
[002] Emissions of Carbon dioxide (C0z) arise from a number of sources, mainly fossil fuel combustion to generate energy. Fossil fuel comprises Coal and hydrocarbons.
[003] Emissions of Carbon dioxide (CO2) arise from complete combustion of fossil fuel, according to the following equation:
Fossil Fuel + Oxygen(02) ¨> Carbon dioxide (CO2) + Water (H20) + Flue Gas Mixture The source of oxygen for this reaction is the atmospheric air.
Fossil Fuel + Oxygen(02) ¨> Carbon dioxide (CO2) + Water (H20) + Flue Gas Mixture The source of oxygen for this reaction is the atmospheric air.
[004] Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced instead of Carbon dioxide (CO2) in incomplete combustion. Incomplete combustion happens when there is a limited supply of air, according to the following equation:
Fossil Fuel + Oxygen(02) ¨> Carbon monoxide (CO) + Water (H20) + Carbon(C)
Fossil Fuel + Oxygen(02) ¨> Carbon monoxide (CO) + Water (H20) + Carbon(C)
[005] Water splitting is the chemical reaction in which water is broken down into oxygen and hydrogen, according to the following equation:
2 H20 ¨> 2 H2 02 It is, in other words, electrolysis of water or the decomposition of water (1-120) into oxygen (02) and hydrogen (H2), due to an electric current being passed through it.
Production of hydrogen from water is energy intensive. In low-temperature electrolysis, the energy consumed is more valuable than the hydrogen produced. Therefore, this process is not usually considered commercially viable. I Iowever, with high-temperature electrolysis (HTE) of water, more of the initial heat energy is converted into chemical energy (hydrogen), thereby improving the commercial viability of this process.
The commercial viability of this process is further improved by use of renewable energy sources to generate electricity for electrolysis.

Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background or the following detailed description.
[007] This invention provides a viable solution to the problem of global warming as caused by Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions arising from fossil fuel combustion to generate energy. In step 1 of the process, this invention uses incomplete combustion to ensure an output of carbon monoxide (CO) and water (H20), instead of Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Water (F120), as would have been the case if complete combustion were used.
[008] In step 3 of the process, carbon monoxide (CO), water (H20) and carbon (C) are separated. Carbon monoxide (CO), a valuable component of synthesis is sent to step 5 where it takes part in Fischer-Tropsch reaction, in which fossil fuel in the form of hydrocarbon is produced. Carbon (C) is recycled to step 1, while water (H20) is sent to step 4, where it is used as feedstock for high-temperature electrolysis (HTE).
[009] In step 4 of the process, water (H20) from step 3 is made to undergo high-temperature electrolysis (ME), by using renewable power. This high-temperature electrolysis (HTE) results in the generation of hydrogen (H2). The use of renewable power in this step to generate hydrogen (H2) translates to conversion of these renewable energy supply to chemical energy. Hydrogen (H2) is a valuable component of synthesis gas and will be used in step 5, along with Carbon monoxide (CO) to create fossil fuel, in the form of hydrocarbons. Conversion of renewable energy to chemical energy provides a viable solution to the problem of intermittent renewable power storage.
[010] Renewable energy sources include Biofuel, Biomass, Geothermal, Hydroelectricity, Solar, Wind, Tidal and Wave. Some of these energy sources are known to produce intermittent power.
[011] This invention results in the production of synthesis gas, a fuel gas mixture consisting primarily of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2), in steps 1 and 4, respectively. These two gases (carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2)) are made to SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) RO/AU
undergo the Fischer-Tropsch reaction in step 5, to produce clean fuels and other chemical solvents. Some of the resulting fuels is recycled to step 1.
undergo the Fischer-Tropsch reaction in step 5, to produce clean fuels and other chemical solvents. Some of the resulting fuels is recycled to step 1.
[012] According to Vvrikipedia, the Fischer¨Tropsch process is a collection of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons. These reactions occur in the presence of metal catalysts, typically at temperatures of 150-300 C (302-572 F) and pressures of one to several tens of atmospheres. The process was first developed by Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch at the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut fur Kohlenforschung in Germany, in 1925.
[013]With respect to the above description, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationship for the various components of the invention described above and in following drawing include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function, and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the invention.
[014] It shall be noted that those skilled in the art will readily recognize numerous adaptations and modifications which can be made to the various embodiments of the present invention which will result in an improved invention, yet all of which will fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the following claims.
Accordingly, the invention is to be limited only by the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.

Claim 2 The method of claim 1, wherein carbon rnonoxide (CO) is recovered from the flue gas Claim 3 The method of claim 1, wherein carbon (C) is recovered from the flue gas and re-cycled to the first step of incomplete combustion.
Claim 4 The method of claim 1, wherein E120 is split into 112 and 02 Claim 5 The method of claim 1, wherein renewable energy sources including Biofuel, Biomass, Geothermal, Hydroelectricity, Solar, Wind, Tidal and Wave are used in electrolysis to split H20 into H2 and Oz Claim 6 The method of claim 1, wherein the use of renewable energy sources including Biofuel, Biomass, Geothermal, Hydroelectricity, Solar, Wind, Tidal and Wave in electrolysis to split H20 into H2 and 02 is considered rneans of exploiting these renewable energy sources.
Claim7 The method of claim 1, wherein the use of intermittent renewable energy sources including Geothermal, Hydroelectricity, Solar, Wind, Tidal and Wave in the electrolysis of H20 to produce hydrogen (HI) is considered means of storing power from these intermittent energy sources.
Claim8 The method of claim 1, wherein the use of renewable energy sources including Biofuel, Biomass, Geothermal, Hydroelectricity, Solar, Wind, Tidal and Wave in the electrolysis of H20 to produce hydrogen (H2) is considered means of converting these renewable energy sources to chemical energy.
Claim9 The method of claims 1 , wherein carbon monoxide (CO) resulting from claiin 2 and hydrogen (H?), resulting from 4 are used in Fischer-Tropsch reaction to produce renewable ftiels and chemical solvents Claim 10 The method of claim 1, wherein some of the renewable fuels of claim 9 are recycled to the first step of incomplete combustion.
Claim 11 The method of claim 1, wherein the energy output of the Fischer-Tropsch reaction is recovered recycled to the first step of incomplete combustion.
