摘要：

CSIRO is conducting a project to demonstrate a concept for integrating solar thermal energy and fossil fuels for advanced power generation and other applications. It has the potential to achieve high thermal efficiencies and greatly reduced carbon dioxide emissions. It uses solar energy to reform methane-containing gases with steam to generate a mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Carbon dioxide is recovered for disposal and hydrogen is used for power generation. A variation of the concept, involving only the reforming of methane with steam and/or carbon dioxide, can produce a range of solar-enriched fuels and synthesis gas that can be used as a chemical feed stock or a metallurgical reductant. A demonstration facility, designed to process 44 kW thermal of natural gas (based on its Lower Heating Value (LHV)), has been constructed and is being commissioned by CSIRO. The facility includes all steps in the concept, except for carbon dioxide disposal. Key aspects of the process chemistry, reactor design and power generation are being confirmed in laboratory support studies. The paper outlines the rationale behind the concept, describes the demonstration facility and discusses the technology's applications and its potential for greenhouse gas mitigation in Australia.
