Environmental degradation is a global problem that leads to loss of biodiversity,
destruction of natural habitats and increased air and water pollution. The
unsustainable use of natural resources, industrial pollution and deforestation are
some of the main factors contributing to this decline. Renewable fuels are
sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources. This includes solar,
wind, hydro and biomass energy. These resources provide viable alternatives to
fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. Green hydrogen is a form of renewable energy produced by
the electrolysis of water using electricity from renewable sources. It is a
promising alternative to fossil fuels that contributes to the reduction of greenhouse
gas emissions and to the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable economy.
The objective of this work is to carry out a thermodynamic modeling of the
production and storage of hydrogen in fuel cells and through the thermodynamic
results it proves the effectiveness of 6 cases involving 3 ethanol reforming routes
(Steam Reforming, Partial Oxidation and Auto Thermal Reforming) and 2 types
of fuel cells (PEMFC and SOFC), thus generating different results and during the
conclusion, define: the heat involved in the production of hydrogen and charging
of the fuel cells, the electrical power that the CaC will reach in different
parameters (temperature , oxygen and steam rate) and thus judge the best case
according to the results obtained. By modeling the thermodynamic equilibrium by
minimizing the Gibbs free energy using a routine developed in MATLAB
software, it is possible to find the compositions of the ethanol reforming products
and from that calculate the efficiency and energy demand in the three ethanol
reforming routes. ethanol. The conclusion was based on heat calculations and the
criteria for choosing the best case were hydrogen production yield, reaction
spontaneity, lower emission rate of polluting gases (such as carbon monoxide) and
low energy/heat demands. . It is concluded that the optimal conditions for
reforming ethanol are through steam reforming at temperatures between 900K and
1100 K with a ratio of steam to ethanol greater than 6 (the higher the better).
