Distillate fuels electricity

By the end ofWorld War II the use of residual fuel oil in the United States had reached about 1.2 million barrels per day. The bulk of this use was in industri-al/commercial boilers, railroad locomotives, and steamships. Shortly thereafter, railroad use declined rapidly as diesel engines, which used distillate fuel, replaced steam locomotives. In the 19.30s and 1960s residual fuel oil use for marine and industrial applications, as well as for electric power generation, con-...

Gulf intended to produce chiefly distillate fuel oil in the West Virginia plant. This is a low sulfur (less than 0.3 percent) nonpolluting fuel for the production of electrical power and steam in the eastern United States, where utilities and industry presently use natural petroleum fuel oil. Gulf claimed that a larger commercial-size plant processing 30,000 tons of coal daily would yield 60,000 barrels of distillate fuel oil or enough to meet the electrical demands of a city with one million inhabitants.

In most of today s ethanol plants for the conversion of wheat, rye and corn, the required thermal energy is provided by natural gas, heavy fuel oil or coal. The protein-rich by-products of ethanol plants are referred to as dried distillers grains with solubles , abbreviated as DDGS, and are mostly used for animal fodder. Alternatively, they can be converted to biogas for heat and electricity production. The resulting residue can then be used as fertiliser (see Table 7.16). 

Fuel cells generate electricity, heat, and distilled water by reacting H2 with oxygen (air). This process emits no C02, no carbon monoxide, no sulfur dioxide, no volatile organic compounds, and no fine particles. The only byproduct of the oxidation of H2 is distilled water. There are some 1,035 firms that are active in the field of fuel cell development and manufacturing (http //www. fuelcells.org/directory). This field of technology is fast advancing, the delivery of new units increased by 75% to approximately 100,000 units in 2007. 

In terms of carbon emission and its impact on climate change, the beneficial effect of my solar-hydrogen power plant is the equivalent of planting 10,000 acres of rain forests. Once this plant is built, its fuel is free, its emission is distilled water and its products are both fuel (hydrogen) and electricity.
