  • METHOD FOR CONVERTING CARBON DIOXIDE INTO SNG OR LNG AND STORING HYDROGEN
    Publication number: 20250270722
    Abstract: Methods are for storing electricity and producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) or synthetic natural (SNG) and using carbon dioxide and for producing electricity, natural gas (NG) or SNG. The methods involve, starting from a water flow, producing an oxygen gas flow and a hydrogen gas flow by electrolysis in an electrolytic cell. A first hydrogen gas flow portion and a second hydrogen gas flow portion are obtained. The first hydrogen gas flow portion is allocated to a methanation step in the presence of carbon dioxide gas. A condensed recirculation water vapor flow is obtained to be allocated to the methanation step and performing methanation. The second hydrogen gas flow portion is allocated to a cooling and liquefaction step. A liquid hydrogen flow is obtained, which is stored in a liquid hydrogen tank.
