Characteristics of the Hannibal allo-thermal process
- Novelty. The basic technical proach, as explained in the following definitions contains many new features not embodied by other gasification processes.
- Sustainablility (utilization of renewable biomass, geothermal enrgy and hydroelectricity). These criteria mean that the operation of such a facility can be continued without any significant negative effects on the environment
- Energy efficiency (80%) The energy input composed of organic feedstock, geothermal steam and electricity will be effectively returned by a product mix composed of fuels that are upgraded in energy content, useful byproducts and waste energy at a total of about 20% of the energy input.
- High carbon utilization.The CO2 emissions from the operations of the facility and side operations will only correspond to 20% of the total combustion (conversion of C to CO2 and conversion to CO and CO2 caused by heating of the CaCO3 in the gasifier.
- High productivity. The facility will be constructed according to the latest available technology.
- Relatively non polluting (insignificant emissions of CO2, or other gases and contaminants).
- Carbon quota eligible. As the carbon contained in the fuel produced is derived from recyled biological carbon, it will be eligible for carbon credit tax.
- Economical. The input materials and energy will be from the cheapest sources available. The fuels and byproducts produced will enjoy several other advantages such as carbon credits.
