Abstract:

The SKORPIoN project incorporates electrolyzers to produce green hydrogen in the proposed production facility. These electrolyzers are designed for high efficiency and durability, ensuring optimal hydrogen production rates with minimal energy loss. The core process involves splitting desalinated water (H₂O) at about 2cbm per day into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) using electricity. The green hydrogen produced is stored in high-pressure buffer tanks, ensuring a reliable supply for subsequent chemical processes. The stored hydrogen is then fed into the Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) unit, where it reacts with biogenic CO₂ to produce e-methanol. Methanol is stable without pressure and at room temperature. The produced methanol (approximately 1tpd) will be stored in ISO tanks, that can readily be moved to the offtaker, like any other 20ft ISO container.
