Processing cost of hydrogen production from methanol
Thread Content
Which sea friend? It would be useful to know how much it costs to produce one cubic meter of hydrogen via methanol reforming This includes equipment depreciation, employee salaries, raw materials, water costs, electricity costs, and so on.
How much does it cost to produce one cubic meter of hydrogen? Answer: 2.35 yuan. This includes equipment depreciation, employee salaries, raw materials, water costs, electricity costs, and so on.
This is related to the price of methanol; generally, 0.5 kg of methanol produces 1 cubic meter of hydrogen. In addition, the costs associated with producing hydrogen include depreciation (calculated over 8 years), wages, administrative expenses, various other consumables, and maintenance costs, all of which amount to 0.4 yuan in total.
The specific consumption of hydrogen and methanol is between 0.5–0.6 kg per cubic meter; this depends on the price of methanol you purchase as well as the size of the heat transfer system. I haven’t taken depreciation into account here. The cost per cubic meter of hydrogen is 1.52 yuan; when the processing volume increases, the energy consumption decreases (since the vacuum pump isn’t in use, the PSA yield is relatively low).
