Abstract: An integrated energy system combining methanol reforming, high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFC), and methanol synthesis is proposed to produce low-carbon electricity while recycling unreacted hydrogen and CO2. Three configurations were modeled and optimized using a genetic algorithm: (i) dry reforming (Case 1), (ii) steam reforming (Case 2), and (iii) steam reforming with amine-based CO2 absorption (Case 3). Each system was evaluated through comprehensive energy, exergy, and techno-economic analyses.
