Statement of the Invention
Energy Transference
The transfer of energy from renewables into chemical energy by highly efficient systems and methods which use CO2 and water to make hydrocarbon fuel and oxygen that are transported where and when required to be burned together in a heat or electricity generating station and for the CO2 and water of combustion to be separated by cooling to enable the said CO2 to be saved from emission to atmosphere and sent to produce further fuel and oxygen using renewable energy in a cyclical process thus supporting energy transference from renewables into heat and electricity demand where and when required with no emission to atmosphere. These means when universally adopted can lead to a pristine world and give the advantages shown below.
Strategic Advantages
- Low cost electricity of less than £40/MWHr where the input electricity is in the location of plentiful renewable energy.
- Low capital cost of electricity generation of £10/MWHr using CCGT with CCU.
- A ceiling on electricity costs in real terms.
- Low cost district heating enabled.
- Local electricity and heat schemes by fuel cells facilitated.
- Energy storable - electricity cannot be stored but fuel and oxygen can.
- Grid interconnectors to electricity demand optional.
- Plentiful energy at the point of demand without emissions.
- Independent of fossil fuels.
- Bio crops unnecessary.
- Fuels can be made having less toxic emissions.
- Increase in man made CO2 emissions controllable - indeed can be reversed.
- Climate change arrested.
- Toxic emissions from power stations and transport eradicated.
- Improved human health.
- World economic growth enabled unbridled by energy scarcity.
