11:00 – 12:00 Thursday 21 November 2024 (Syd/Mel/Can)

Join Nguyet Ky Ngo, University of Adelaide for this webinar on techno-economics of the production of hydrogen and derivatives for the gasification of agricultural residues and wood processing waste. This PhD research project RP1-10-07 included developing an assessment of solar hybridized dual fluidized bed gasifier for Hydrogen, Hydrogen carriers and Fischer-Tropsch liquids.

The research includes:

Assessment of solar-hybridised gasification of agricultural residues with biochar co-production
Comparison of the cost and energy requirements between conventional and solar-hybridised gasification processes
Understanding the value proposition for the production of high-purity hydrogen, FT liquids, and methanol
Identifying suitable locations for a solar biomass gasification process based on biomass availability and solar resources (with a selected case study to be presented)

This project covers the risks, challenges and economic benefits of using hybridised solar gasification for production of Fischer-Tropsch fuels, hydrogen and hydrogen carriers from agricultural and wood processing wastes.

The webinar will be followed by a Q&A session with Nguyet, joined by Michael Simoni, GHD and David Norman, CEO of Future Fuels CRC (host).
