Integrating a Fischer Tropsch process into a pulp mill - A techno-economic assessment

Energy, 2023, vol. 285, issue C

Abstract: To reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the transport sector, synthetic fuels based on CO2 and H2 are one viable option. This paper evaluates the integration of a Fischer Tropsch process into a pulp mill to improve efficiency and to lower CO2 emissions. Different syngas preparation technologies, plant sizes, and gas loop designs are considered. The processes were simulated with a chemical process simulation software to retrieve mass and energy balances. Based on the simulations, the processes are evaluated regarding economics, CO2 emissions, and efficiency indicators.
