Solar Methanol Island for Renewable Energy
 |
| Scientists New Surprise Solar Methanol Island! |
The maximum amount of fossil fuel stored in the earth will last for a further
100 years. When these fossil fuels are exhausted, people have to rely on
nature. Green energy means renewable energy will be the confidence of tomorrow.
People need to save energy from water, wind and sun.
Scientists from
Norway and Switzerland took a step in that regard. They started trying to
remove excess carbon-dioxide from the environment and use it as fuel to produce
carbon dioxide and green methanol through sea water instead of fossil fuels.
According to the
scientists' plan, a solar methanol island will be built on the sea, with
approximately 70 panels of radius equal to 100 meter in diameter, which will
produce this fuel through certain processes and equipment under sunlight. What
exactly is the process of creating green methanol or fuel through these solar
panels?
According to the
scientists, the amount of space, solar power and water needed to produce this
energy can only be found in marine areas. That is why they have chosen the
maritime territories of Indonesia, North Australia and Brazil. The panels will
be mounted facing the sun on a membrane, which will provide 24 MW of power to
these panels.
Since the salt in
the sea water, the water will be salted first. The hydrogen and oxygen of the
water will be separated by hydrolysis after liberation of salt. A special tank
has been arranged for this process.

This tank will be
connected to an underwater pipeline that will be used to conduct steam.
The underwater
pipeline will be connected to the bank's steam turbine, which will be capable
of generating 5 GW of power, which will help produce green methanol and carbon
dioxide.
In addition,
scientists are planning to do a version of this solar methanol panel on the
ground.
According to
scientists' plans, millions of marine floating solar methanol islands will be
powered by sunlight to produce carbon dioxide and green methanol, or fuel,
which will help train, plane and ship.
But how effective
this plan will be in the coming days depends not only on the cost of the
equipment, but also on how much energy the vehicle will carry. But it is also a
matter of concern for researchers to clean and maintain these energy producing
materials in the marine areas.
