  • Patent number: 11952274
    Abstract: A method for producing hydrogen product having a low carbon intensity is provided. The method includes the steps of: (a) converting a hydrocarbon feedstock to a hydrogen product using a hydrocarbon reforming process; (b) providing at least some of the required energy for the hydrogen production process from a biomass power plant; and (c) processing one or more flue gas streams from the biomass power plant in a carbon capture unit to reduce CO2e emissions. The hydrogen product has a carbon intensity preferably less than about 1.0 kg CO2e/kg H2, more preferably less than 0.45 kg CO2e/kg H2, and most preferably less than 0.0 kg CO2e/kg H2.

  • Publication number: 20240101497
    Abstract: A method for producing an olefin product, including the steps of converting a hydrocarbon feedstock to an unsaturated hydrocarbon stream through a steam cracking process in an olefins production plant; combusting hydrogen to provide at least some of the heating duty to the steam cracking process, wherein the hydrogen has a carbon intensity less than about 1.0 kg CO2e/kg H2, wherein the hydrogen is produced using a hydrogen production process; providing at least some of the required energy for the hydrogen production process from a biomass power plant; and processing the unsaturated hydrocarbon stream to recover the olefin product. The olefin product may comprise ethylene having a well-to-gate carbon intensity less than about 0.6 kg CO2e/kg C2H4, or may comprise propylene having a well-to-gate carbon intensity less than about 0.6 kg CO2e/kg C3H6.

  • Publication number: 20240102403
    Abstract: A method for providing energy from waste heat from an electrolysis process to one or more commercial or industrial operations is provided. The method includes the steps of converting water to oxygen and a hydrogen product through an electrolysis process, wherein the hydrogen product has a carbon intensity less than about 0.45 kg CO2e/kg H2, and wherein at least some of the required energy for the electrolysis process is provided from a biomass power plant. The method further includes recovering waste heat from the electrolysis process, and then converting at least some of the waste heat to thermal energy for use in the one or more commercial or industrial operations. Examples of commercial and industrial operations includes, without limitation, greenhouses, algae farms, district cooling, and district heating.

  • Publication number: 20240102179
    Abstract: Methods for producing a hydrogen product having a carbon intensity less than about 0.45 kg CO2e/kg H2 is provided. The method includes the steps of converting water to oxygen and the hydrogen product through an electrolysis process, providing at least some, and substantially all, of the required energy for the electrolysis process from a biomass power plant, and processing one or more flue gas streams from the biomass power plant in a carbon capture unit to reduce CO2e emissions. The energy produced from the biomass power plant may comprise one or more of electricity, steam used as process steam in the electrolysis process, steam used as thermal energy in the electrolysis process, and steam used to power a mechanical drive for one or more compressors, pumps, or other motors generating shaft torque in the electrolysis process.

  • Patent number: 9925513
    Abstract: An integrated process simultaneously removes the diluent and reduces the TAN, resulting in cost savings from the diluent recovery and increasing the value of the produced heavy crude stream by removing the acids and other contaminants, while reducing the overall energy requirements when compared to performing the two processes separately.
