Abstract: This article presents a new design of a multigeneration system targeting critical glass making plants to smartly use renewable energy sources, such as solar and tidal options, for cleaner production of hydrogen and methane along with storage options. A unique location is potentially identified in Southern France for a case study of this system. The present system helps potentially reduce carbon dioxide emissions from glass production facilities by capturing the carbon dioxide that is produced through monoethanolamine absorption and then harnessing it to generate methane/natural gas. In addition to producing methane, the present system will produce hydrogen, domestic hot water, electrical power, space heating, and space cooling. After designing this system, the specific energy and exergy analyses are conducted; this encompasses a performance assessment to identify the system's effectiveness under various operating conditions. Most notably, the present system achieves the energy and exergy efficiencies of 64.9% and 28.7%, respectively, during the cooling mode and the energy and exergy efficiencies of 69.6% and 29.3%, respectively, during the heating mode. Additionally, the system energetic coefficients of performance during heating and cooling modes are obtained to be 1.00 and 0.95, respectively.
