THE PRODUCTION PROSPECTS OF HYDROGEN FROM THE BIOGAS IN BRASILIA

Abstract

The research and use of hydrogen in the world is growing up, with many ways to produce and to utilize the gas hydrogen, besides the ecological advantage, this fuel will become necessary soon. In this scenario, there are the hydrogen by the sewage sludge, where the hydrogen coming from the biogas by the decomposition of this sludge. In Federal District, most electric energy uses are imported and purchased by hydroelectric. In Brasilia, there are CAESB, the company responsible for the water treatments. The stations receive sewage every day, and by law, it is an obligation to produce biogas. In this work, was elaborated a viability to produce hydrogen by the reformer of the biogas and using in small and adapted thermoelectric. In a simulation, a unique station, taking studies as reference, receiving 50,000 m3/day, it is possible to power up 525 houses in the near regions.
