| Summary: | The utilisation of liquid organic carriers for hydrogen storage has demonstrated to be a highly effective method for storing hydrogen under ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Methanol has a hydrogen (H2) content of 12.6% by weight and can be synthesised by the process of carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogenation. The main goal of the study is to demonstrate methanol’s role as a hydrogen carrier and its application in a direct methanol fuel cell for energy generation. The suggested system synthesises methanol by utilizing green hydrogen with CO2 recovered from industrial sources. The Aspen Plus simulation of the DMFC showed a 58% methanol conversion and a 61% energy efficiency (Methanol-to-power). |
