The US Navy Research Laboratory has announced it has perfected a process to turn sea water into fuel for ships and aircraft. The technology means the navy will likely be able to generate hydrocarbon-based fuel on-board within a decade, giving its ships almost limitless range.

Goodbye, Oil: US Navy Cracks New Renewable Energy Technology To Turn Seawater Into Fuel, Allowing Ships To Stay At Sea Longer

U.S. Navy
After decades of experiments, U.S. Navy scientists believe they may have solved one of the world’s great challenges: how to turn seawater into fuel.

The development of a liquid hydrocarbon fuel could one day relieve the military’s dependence on oil-based fuels and is being heralded as a “game changer” because it could allow military ships to develop their own fuel and stay operational 100 percent of the time, rather than having to refuel at sea.

The new fuel is initially expected to cost around $3 to $6 per gallon, according to the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, which has already flown a model aircraft on it.

The Navy’s 289 vessels all rely on oil-based fuel, with the exception of some aircraft carriers and 72 submarines that rely on nuclear propulsion. Moving away from that reliance would free the military from fuel shortages and fluctuations in price.

"It's a huge milestone for us," said Vice Adm. Philip Cullom. "We are in very challenging times where we really do have to think in pretty innovative ways to look at how we create energy, how we value energy and how we consume it. We need to challenge the results of the assumptions that are the result of the last six decades of constant access to cheap, unlimited amounts of fuel."
The breakthrough came after scientists developed a way to extract carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas from seawater. The gasses are then turned into a fuel by a gas-to-liquids process with the help of catalytic converters.

"For us in the military, in the Navy, we have some pretty unusual and different kinds of challenges," said Cullom. "We don't necessarily go to a gas station to get our fuel. Our gas station comes to us in terms of an oiler, a replenishment ship. Developing a game-changing technology like this, seawater to fuel, really is something that reinvents a lot of the way we can do business when you think about logistics, readiness."

The next challenge for the Navy is to produce the fuel in industrial quantities. It will also partner with universities to maximize the amount of CO2 and carbon they can recapture.

”For the first time we've been able to develop a technology to get CO2 and hydrogen from seawater simultaneously. That's a big breakthrough," said Dr. Heather Willauer, a research chemist who has spent nearly a decade on the project, adding that the fuel "doesn't look or smell very different." 
“We've demonstrated the feasibility, we want to improve the process efficiency," explained Willauer.

Seawater to Fuel  
 


2013/06/25 に公開
The film that you are about to watch shows a small hobby aircraft running on synthetic hydrocarbons produced by reacting carbon dioxide, obtained from seawater or air, and hydrogen from water with a catalyst in a chemical process such as reverse water gas shift combined with Fischer Tropsch synthesis. The reverse water gas shift (CO2 + H2 → CO + H2O) produces carbon monoxide, which is reacted with hydrogen in the Fischer Tropsch synthesis to produce synthetic liquid hydrocarbons and water. Carbon dioxide is recovered by partial vacuum degassing during the pumping of seawater from any depth, extraction from seawater by any other physical or chemical process, absorption from air by any known physical or chemical means, or any combination of the above methods. The energy used to run the machine and produce the hydrocarbons would come from windmills. The fuel can be used without modification in aircraft, cars, or small engines. The benefits of using this method include: Fuel has no sulfur content, no nitrogen content, no aromatics content, but has high volumetric and gravimetric energy density, with an excellent resistance to thermal oxidation processes; the fuel is fire safe (i.e., they are hard to ignite), it has good low temperature properties and can be reformed easily for production of hydrogen in fuel cell applications; the fuel is produced without using fossil fuels, the process is carbon neutral when combusted, the starting materials are cost free, and in situ production of stored energy requires no large storage volumes or long distance transport or special handling during transportation. Additionally, an equal volume of fresh water is produced as a useful byproduct.
