Potencial energético y de utilización de CO2 para sistemas Power to Methane como parte de una futura Planta virtual de Potencia en Sabana Centro: Análisis por construcción de escenarios energéticos soportados en simulación estática y dinámica del proceso

Abstract

Given the changes in a globalized world affected by climate change, distributed renewable energy sources have become a worldwide focus of study and development. Growing energy demand and increasing carbon emissions challenges and repercussions drive the scientific community and industry to find technological solutions to these complications. Power to Methane (PtM) systems have emerged in recent years as an attractive alternative for methane generation, carbon utilization, and renewable sources use (such as solar or wind energy); however, its analysis within Sabana Centro – Colombia’s context to identify its potential in those aspects have not been studied so far. Although few studies analyze the Power to Methane technology as an alternative in Colombia due to its resource availability, process simulation or behavior analysis in a particular context has not been studied, considering that Colombia has broad ecosystem diversity and, therefore, resource availability variation.
