METHOD OF CONVERTING SOLAR ENERGY INTO CHEMICAL AND ITS ACCUMULATION IN HYDROGEN-CONTAINING PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F24J2/00 C01B3/38 C25B1/02 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in the chemical industry, in systems producing fuel for transport and in stationary power plants. A method of conversion of solar energy into chemical and its accumulation in hydrogen-containing products includes production of a biomass with application of solar energy, which is subjected to reaction of vapour-oxygen catalytic conversion with obtaining reaction products, containing hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The obtained products are supplied into high temperature electrochemical process to obtain synthesis-gas and oxygen. The obtained synthesis gas is used to obtain hydrocarbons on catalysts in the Fischer-Tropsch process, with oxygen being returned to the beginning of the process for conversion. As a working body used is water, which being heated with synthesis gas is evaporated under pressure in the range from 0.1 to 7.0 MPa and directed to a turbine to produce mechanical and/or electric energy for a heating agent.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to reduce heat consumption for the process of obtaining energy carriers and to produce the energy carriers in the absence of atmospheric oxygen.
