Color of Regenerative Syngas Flames, Color of Our Future!

Carbon is physically black, when it is released into the earth's atmosphere in the form of CO2 it also gives the impression of black. However, when we react the carbon or charcoal with its own CO2 emissions, the flames that emerges from both can be colorful as in the photo below. That's what we call Regenerative Syngas, low cost energy because the ingredients are all from waste - namely biomass waste or charcoal and CO2 emissions.

The machine to produce Regenerative Syngas is what we call the OCCYRE (Onboard Carbon Cycles for Regenerative Energy) reactor, which is the first of three machines that I introduced in the Hydrocarbon Equation, in the previous upload: https://lnkd.in/g2SDKvCG

The colors of the syngas flames depend on the level of purity of the syngas and the hydrogen content in it. The hydrogen in this syngas comes from hydrogen in the charcoal that we use, because on average charcoal contains around 5% hydrogen.

We can control the level of syngas purity and hydrogen content which influence the color of the syngas flames using two parameters, namely the purification parameters and the catalyst we use. In this OCCYRE reactor, we only use plant-based catalyst, so apart from being environmentally friendly - the aim of producing affordable fuels must still be maintained.

With the qualities of Regenerative Syngas like this, it can be used for anything. Can be used as direct fuel, for this case does not require purification and increasing the hydrogen content, or if we want to process it into Regenerative Hydrocarbons such as gasoline, diesel, jet-fuel, LPG etc., then it needs a higher hydrogen content, at least an H2/CO ratio of above 2.

To become liquid fuels of the Regenerative Hydrocarbon type, the syngas output from the OCCYRE reactor will then become feedstock in the second machine, the Water Gas Shift (WGS) reactor and the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) reactor mentioned in the above upload.

The beauty of the colorful flames from these Regenerative Syngas seems to have inspired the Advance Renewable Organization (ARO) team, how beautiful the world will be in the future, when we can convert waste and CO2 emissions into Clean and Affordable Energy, SDGs no7 - which is the world's goal that must be achieved no later than 2030. InshaAllah, we can achieve it before that!
