The methanation process transforms CO<inf>2</inf> into green methane by combining it with hydrogen from solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs). Efficient energy management of the integrated system, along with effective heat utilization from methanation for power generation, enhances system efficiency. This study compares four configurations of a system incorporating SOECs, methanation, and the Rankine cycle, focusing on energetic, economic, and environmental performance. The impact of gas recycling in the adiabatic methanator on system performance was also investigated. Key findings reveal that incorporating a water separation unit and increasing the gas recycle ratio significantly improve methane yield and CO<inf>2</inf> utilization. Systems with water removal through heat integration achieve overall efficiencies of 50.17 to 52.27%. The levelized product cost of the system with water removal is lower, ranging from 195.27 to 223.05 $/MWh, and it produces the lowest CO<inf>2</inf> emission intensity at 119.91 kgCO<inf>2</inf> per MWhCH<inf>4</inf>.

The integration of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) and methanation as a power-to-gas system is a promising technology for renewable energy storage and CO<inf>2</inf> utilization. SOEC can operate in both modes: water electrolysis for hydrogen production and water/carbon dioxide co-electrolysis for syngas production. The operating conditions and performance of the integrated systems between the methanation and SOECs with both modes are different. To study the direct and indirect utilization of CO<inf>2</inf> in the methanation integrating SOEC with both modes, this study focuses on the comparative analysis of two integrated systems between the methanation and SOECs with water electrolysis mode and co-electrolysis mode for green natural gas production from fermentation waste in all aspects such as energy and economic analyses. Additionally, heat integration of both integrated systems with pinch analysis is studied. Results indicate that the methane yield of mixed CO and CO<inf>2</inf> methanation is higher than that of CO<inf>2</inf> methanation. The integrated system between the methanation and SOEC with co-electrolysis mode achieves a higher system efficiency, compared to that of a system using SOEC with water electrolysis mode. The efficiency of both systems can be improved by heat integration which increases by 4.60–6.09%. Moreover, the levelized cost of the product in the system using SOEC with water electrolysis of 201.35–211.86 $/MWh is lower than that of the system using SOEC with co-electrolysis mode. The CO<inf>2</inf> emission intensities of the system using SOEC with co-electrolysis mode by power consumption sources from the wind turbine are the lowest about 1.37 kgCO<inf>2</inf>,e/kWh.

Integration of the biorefinery concept to the existing Kraft-pulping process is undertaken to achieve a more sustainable development. This paper aims at developing a novel biorefinery-integrated-Kraft-pulping network with improved profitability, energy self-sufficiency and minimum CO<inf>2</inf> emission by employing technologies consisting of biofuel and biochemical productions, biomass gasification together with CO<inf>2</inf> capture and utilization. Three scenarios, including (I) the production of gasification-based dimethyl ether (DME); (II) the co-production of DME and succinic acid; and (III) the co-production of DME and succinic acid coupled with the CO<inf>2</inf> utilization, have been investigated. Among all scenarios, Scenario II exhibits the best economic performances as highlighted by the 74% increase of profit compared to the conventional process. Scenario III achieves the highest energy efficiency at 39% and an improved environmental performance due to the 65% reduction of CO<inf>2</inf> emission compared to the conventional process with only 0.7% profit reduction. Comparing to the biorefinery-integrated-Soda-pulping networks proposed by the previous work, the biorefinery-integrated-Kraft-pulping networks show higher performance on both economic and environmental improvements. Thereby confirming that the integration of the biorefinery network can improve the sustainability and enhance the economic benefit of the Kraft-pulping process beyond the conventional process.
