Techno-economic assessment of a novel oxy-fuel cycle based on steam-nitrogen expansion after ammonia oxidation in a membrane reactor
Alberto Cammarata, Paolo Colbertaldo, Florian Kuschel, Deborah Rapp, Stefano Campanari
The paper focuses on the development and evaluation of a new oxy-fuel cycle that relies on combustion in pure oxygen (“oxy-fuel”) and the use of steam as a working medium. The background is the urgent need to make industrial processes and energy conversion significantly more carbon-neutral, particularly with regard to products such as green ammonia and other energy-intensive applications. The study examines whether this technology is technically feasible and economically viable. Its goal is to analyze both the technical performance parameters (e.g., efficiency, process integration) and the economic aspects (investment and operating costs) of this specific oxy-fuel cycle, and to assess whether it represents a realistic option for the future.

Deliverables
Deliverable No.: D5.1
Reference benchmark
Politecnico di Milano
Objective: This deliverable aims at offering an assessment of existing concepts and reference technologies that are a reference for the assessment of the HiPowAR plant concept.
Background: It appears useful to identify potential synergies between the HiPowAR concept and existing experiences on similar working conditions, as well as to develop a benchmark framework to represent the status of competing technologies.
Deliverable No.: D6.1
Cost estimation, lifetime and recycling costs of all HiPowAR devices
ZBT GmbH
Objective: This deliverable aims at giving estimations for costs, lifetime and recycling costs of all HiPowAR devices.
Background: The HiPowAR concept is to be compared with other NH3-based systems for energy supply in terms of economic efficiency. For this purpose, estimates must be made of the likely costs for the HiPowAR system respectively the various subsystems and components.
