Abstract

A flexible sorption enhanced gasification (SEG) process is assessed in this work, where CaO-based material circulating between gasifier and combustor reactors is adjusted for fulfilling the syngas composition requirements according to the downstream fuel synthesis process. A case study of a synthetic natural gas (SNG) production plant based on this SEG process is presented, which has been analysed under different conditions of gasification temperature or solid circulation. A possible integration of this plant with an electrolysis system for power-to-gas application for balancing the electric grid is also proposed and assessed.
