Is this a feasible system for recycling CO2?
« on: 31/12/2021 23:24:37 »
HI. I designed a system to recycle CO2. Here is the small block diagram.

* CO2RecStation.png (24.99 kB . 991x760 - viewed 2588 times)
And this one is for mobile version. You can place that on trucks, trains, diesel generators, rocket test rooms, wielding shops, farms etc.

Liquid CO2 unloads at the Truck or Train Station automatically or while refueling at gas station or shop. Diesel trains are the best.

1CO2 => 2CO. That is the best option.
The benefit is the only thing need is to mix CO and H2 together. Not like with methane. Using dynamo machines water can be separated electrically into oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen can be released or sold. We can do Ocean water to reduce ocean levels.

How much is this, expensive to run. But, don't be afraid, its not a lot.

Using solar power panels and other generators will be possible to reduce running and production costs

Save the world from CO2 and pollution. Make super huge competition to oil refineries and crude oil production.  :)
Someone needs to build this and its not me.

Where does the power for the hydrogen generator come from?
If you have enough energy to do that you can use it directly.
Or you can use the hydrogen as fuel.

It will be custom build, everything up to the one who will do the work. Probably would be bigger than any normal motors anybody have seen.

Good idea to use hydrogen as the fuel. oxygen can be added for higher performance. And then use steam machine to generate needed powers.

Can I use vehicle fuel pump to pump oxygen and hydrogen? Or it has to be that very expensive hardware.

Do you understand that the problem is not the details of how it is made?
The problem is that any such system will need power from somewhere.

Yes, I understand. I know laws of electrodynamics. And there will be power using solar power cells and electrical generators.

Electric motors powered by coupled with generators, called dynamo machine. There is also above someone mentioned to use hydrogen and oxygen to heat the steam machine that will drive generator. Steam machines are very efficient.
To power electric motors to use solar power generators, water turbine, thermal power generation is good idea to use.

If you have that, why would you be generating CO2?

If you have that, why would you be generating CO2?

I dont need to. Its to recycle it form factories. To make synthesis gas.

The problem is this:

It takes more (usable) energy to convert CO2 and water into fuels (and oxygen) than you could ever get from burning said fuels (with oxygen) to generate CO2 and water.

So if you have enough energy to capture CO2 from a factory, and convert it back into fuel, then you have enough energy to run the factory without making CO2 in the first place.

All processes at the factory can eb changed to electric?
