Abstract
- Summary: In this study, a novel wind energy‐based carbon dioxide (CO2) capturing system is developed and investigated for practical applications to reduce environmental emissions. The aqueous ammonia‐based capturing technology is utilized. Wind turbines are used to operate the onsite ammonia synthesis as well as hydrogen production. The proton exchange membrane electrolysis system is considered for hydrogen production and the Haber‐Bosch ammonia synthesis technique is utilized. The developed system is modeled in Aspen Plus software. The system performance for CO2 capture is studied through economic, energy, and exergy perspectives. The CO2 capture cost is evaluated to be between 0.1 and 0.23 $/kg CO2. Furthermore, the system CO2 capture rate is determined to be 3.5 kg/s. Moreover, for a unit mass of CO2 captured, the energy consumption is found to be 640.1 kg CO2/MWh. Several parametric studies are also conducted to analyze the effects of varying operating conditions on the system performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
