Biomass raw materials, such as agricultural and forestry waste, urban organic garbage, etc., are regarded as important alternatives to traditional fossil fuels due to their low carbon emissions and environmental friendliness.

[0088] The preparation of methanol from biomass raw materials is a process that converts renewable biomass resources into methanol, with high economic and environmental benefits. Since biomass raw materials are complex and heterogeneous in composition, this also increases the difficulty of process control and further affects the control of carbon emission levels. Therefore, in the context of the existing technology, how to mix different types of biomass raw materials, optimize the preparation process, and reduce carbon emissions has become an urgent problem to be solved. This application provides an optimized carbon emission reduction method for preparing green methanol from mixed biomass raw materials, aiming to help users select an executable solution of mixable biomass with the least carbon emissions on the premise of meeting user requirements, avoiding multiple attempts in actual operations, saving time and costs, and reducing carbon emissions.
[0089] Biomass includes: organic matter (living and dead), such as trees, crops, grass, tree and, litter, algae, animals, manure, and biogenic waste. Specifically, the biomass available in the real environment includes: straw (such as: corn straw, wheat straw, rice straw, legume straw), corn cob cores, municipal pruning, fruit tree pruning, forest waste, nut shells, food waste, livestock and poultry manure, etc.
[0090] Please refer to Figure 1 , this application provides an optimized carbon emission reduction method for preparing green methanol from mixed biomass raw materials, which includes:
[0091] S10. Provide a carbon emission reduction model for preparing green methanol from biomass raw materials (as shown in Table 1). The carbon emission reduction model for preparing green methanol from biomass raw materials includes multiple carbon emission reduction sub-models. Each of the single-type carbon emission reduction sub-models is established based on the carbon emissions of the whole life cycle of each single-type biomass raw material from raw material acquisition to green methanol use. The whole life cycle includes the raw material acquisition stage, the production stage, the transportation stage, and the use stage.
[0092] Among them, the raw material acquisition stage refers to the production of the main raw materials and other raw and auxiliary materials for methanol production. These raw materials are produced outside the legal person boundary of the methanol production entity. For example, the direct air capture or industrial tail gas capture process of carbon dioxide, the planting and collection process of biomass raw materials, the production and collection process of industrial by-product hydrogen, etc., as well as the purification, purification, and pretreatment stages of the above raw materials. In one embodiment, the raw material acquisition stage of a biomass raw material, corn cob core, includes the following steps:
[0093] (1) Collect corn cob cores: Corn cob cores are the remaining corn cob cores after corn threshing, or the corn cobs. After harvesting corn, the corn cob cores can be collected.
[0094] (2) Drying treatment: The collected corn cob cores need to be dried for easy storage and subsequent processing. Natural drying or the use of drying equipment can be chosen for drying.
[0095] (3) Crushing processing: The dried corn cob cores can be processed using a crusher with an appropriate sieve hole diameter to obtain corn cob particles of different sizes. For example, the corn cob cores processed using a crusher with a sieve hole diameter of 20 to 16 mm can be used for Pleurotus ostreatus cultivation; those crushed with a sieve hole diameter of 10 mm can be used for the cultivation of mushrooms such as Flammulina velutipes.
[0096] (4) Storage and transportation: The crushed corn cob core particles should be properly stored to avoid moisture and mildew to maintain their nutritional value and physical properties. When convenient for transportation, they can be packed or briquetted.
[0097] The production stage refers to all the processes covered in methanol production, excluding in-plant personnel and living facilities. For example, in the direct synthesis route for producing methanol, carbon dioxide and hydrogen are directly synthesized through gas compression, catalytic reaction, and the rectification process of crude methanol; in the biomass syngas route for producing methanol, biomass pyrolysis or gasification decomposition, crude syngas conversion, purification (decarbonization, desulfurization), compression, synthesis, and the rectification process of crude methanol, etc.
[0098] The transportation stage refers to the process of transporting raw materials, auxiliary materials, and products among various main body positions in the methanol life cycle. The use stage refers to the process of burning methanol products at the consumption end or the final oxidative decomposition of its extended chemical products.

Among them, the proportion of each biomass in the first type of mixed biomass is the same, and the first preset condition includes the calorific value, moisture content, sulfur content, etc. of the raw materials in the raw material acquisition stage. For example, biomass with a high moisture content requires additional heat for drying during combustion, resulting in an increase in coal consumption and thus an increase in carbon dioxide emissions.
[0103] For example, in the above-mentioned Embodiment 1, according to the calorific value of the raw materials in the first preset condition, at least two biomass raw materials are selected as the first type of mixed biomass, and a total of 4 (A1 = 4) first type of executable solutions can be formed (respectively: the first type of mixed biomass is formed by raw material 1 and raw material 2 each accounting for 50%, the first type of mixed biomass is formed by raw material 1 and raw material 3 each accounting for 50%, the first type of mixed biomass is formed by raw material 2 and raw material 3 each accounting for 50%, and the first type of mixed biomass is formed by raw material 1, raw material 2, and raw material 3 each accounting for 33.3%). In one embodiment, the first preset condition can be a single condition or a mixed condition formed by multiple conditions; specifically, biomass can be selected according to one condition, or which biomass can be selected as a member of the mixed biomass according to multiple conditions.
[0104] In one embodiment, the first preset condition may further include: the economic cost of the raw materials (such as raw material acquisition cost, raw material production cost, raw material transportation cost), the availability of the raw materials (such as single-point acquisition or multi-point acquisition of the raw materials, whether the raw materials need pretreatment and chemical treatment), the maturity of the raw material treatment technology (technologies for treating raw materials such as sorting, filtering, precipitation, degumming, etc.), operating expenses, energy demand structure, and so on.
[0105] According to the calculation formula of the carbon emissions in the whole life cycle from raw material acquisition to the use of green methanol, calculate the carbon emissions in the raw material acquisition stage for each of the first type of executable solutions. Record the calculation results of the carbon emissions in the raw material acquisition stage for multiple first type of executable solutions to . For example, in the above-mentioned Embodiment 1, calculate and record the carbon emissions of 4 first type of executable solutions as follows: , , , .

For example, in the above-mentioned Embodiment 1, calculate and record the carbon emissions corresponding to B = 2 production and treatment methods as follows: , . The carbon emissions in the production stage include: power consumption, heat consumption, other inputs, wastewater consumption, etc.
[0108] S50. Based on the second type of executable solutions, form A1×B×C types of third - type executable solutions according to each of the C transportation methods. Calculate and record the carbon emissions during the transportation stage for each of the third - type executable solutions. to . For example, in the above - mentioned Example 1, calculate and record the carbon emissions corresponding to C = 2 transportation methods as follows: 、 .
[0109] S60. Based on the third - type executable solutions, form the fourth - type executable solutions according to the usage methods of green methanol during the usage stage; divide them into three major categories according to different usage methods of green methanol during the usage stage: direct use D1, indirect use D2, and partial direct and partial indirect use D3. The maximum number of the fourth - type executable solutions is A1×B×C×3 types.
[0110] During the direct use, calculate the carbon emissions during the methanol combustion process. . During the indirect use, calculate the carbon emissions throughout the whole process of production, use, and recycling of methanol extended products. . During the partial direct and partial indirect use, calculate the carbon emissions during the methanol combustion process and the carbon emissions throughout the whole process of production, use, and recycling of methanol extended products . Among them, when the usage method of green methanol during the usage stage is partial direct and partial indirect use, the usage ratio is provided by the user.
[0111] In this step, there can be many application fields of green methanol involved. For example, as fuel in the transportation field; as chemical raw materials, synthetic fibers or plastic production in the industrial field; as an energy storage medium in the energy field; as power generation fuel in the power generation field; as drug synthesis in the biomedical field; as the manufacture of detergents and antifreeze agents in the daily necessities field.
[0112] S70. Calculate the total carbon emissions of the whole life cycle according to the three major usage methods of green methanol during the usage stage:
[0113] When green methanol is directly used, the total carbon emissions of the whole life cycle are + + + ;
[0114] When green methanol is indirectly used, the total carbon emissions of the whole life cycle are + + + ;
[0115] When green methanol is partially directly and partially indirectly used, the total carbon emissions throughout the life cycle are + + + + ;
[0116] Among them, i, j, and k are all positive integers, 1 ≤ i ≤ A1, 1 ≤ j ≤ B, 1 ≤ k ≤ C.
[0117] For S80, select the executable solution with a lower total carbon emissions throughout the life cycle as the actual executable solution for the mixed biomass for users to choose. For example, the executable solutions with the total carbon emissions throughout the life cycle ranked in the top 5% - top 25% can be selected as the actual executable solutions for the mixed biomass for users to choose.
[0118] In this embodiment, on the premise of meeting the user's needs, help the user select the executable solution of the mixable biomass with the least carbon emissions, avoiding multiple attempts in actual operation, saving time and cost, and reducing carbon emissions. In the above embodiment, fully combining the actual user needs, the lowest and most reasonable suggestions for carbon emissions in the whole life cycle of preparing green methanol using mixed biomass raw materials are given, providing a sufficient practical basis for the user's decision-making.

[0135] Table 6 above shows four types of the first executable solutions (mixed biomass raw materials), three production processing methods, two transportation methods, and one usage method of green methanol during the usage stage provided by the user, the carbon emissions of each stage, the total number of all executable solutions is 24, and the total carbon emissions of all executable solutions. Select the solutions with lower carbon emissions from the 24 executable solutions as the actual executable solutions. Subsequently, the user can further add the costs of each stage to select specific implementation solutions, thereby ensuring economic benefits on the premise of the lowest carbon emissions.
[0136] In one embodiment, the carbon emission reduction optimization method for preparing green methanol from mixed biomass raw materials further includes:
[0137] S81, select N executable solutions with the lowest total carbon emissions in the whole life cycle as the nth preliminary executable solution respectively, where N and n are both positive integers, and n ≤ N < A1 × B × C.
[0138] S82, adjust the proportion of different biomass raw materials in the mixed biomass in the nth preliminary executable solution.
[0139] S83, calculate the carbon emissions of the nth preliminary executable solution under different proportions, and select the preliminary executable solution with the lowest carbon emissions as the nth actual executable solution for the user to choose.
[0140] In this embodiment, when performing proportional adjustment for each preliminary execution plan, a curve of "proportion of different types of biomass raw materials in the mixed biomass raw materials - carbon emission" can be plotted, and the proportion of different types of biomass raw materials corresponding to the point with the lowest carbon emission on the curve is selected as the optimal proportion, and it is recommended to the customer as an actual executable plan. In this embodiment, from N executable plans, the proportion of different types of biomass raw materials in the mixed biomass raw materials is further adjusted to provide a more optimized actual executable plan for the user.
[0141] In one embodiment, the carbon emission reduction optimization method for preparing green methanol from the mixed biomass raw materials further includes:
[0142] S90, calculate the comprehensive cost of each of the actual executable plans respectively, and use the actual executable plan with the lowest comprehensive cost as the final execution plan.
[0143] In this embodiment, user personalization is selected according to the comprehensive cost, ensuring economic benefits on the premise of the lowest carbon emission. For example, further calculate the cost of each executable plan in the whole life cycle from raw material acquisition to the use of green methanol, and select the executable plan with low carbon emission and low cost as the actual executable plan.
[0144] In one embodiment, each single-type carbon emission reduction sub-model is constructed by means of pre-data collection and post-real-time data expansion; and, the data types in each single-type carbon emission reduction sub-model include: primary data and secondary data.
[0145] The primary data includes the consumption of raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, pollutant emissions in the methanol production stage, the transportation distance of the corresponding transportation mode, etc., as well as the production data of the upstream supply chain that can be directly obtained. If it meets the definition, direct emission data, carbon footprint factor data, and process activity data can all be classified as primary data.
[0146] Secondary data includes industry average data, estimated values based on literature research, production data published by industry associations, government statistics data, literature data, engineering research and patents, and may also be based on financial data. It can be surrogate data generated by external expert evaluation. In addition, it can also come from third-party LCI databases, development resources, carbon footprint calculation values of supply chain products, etc.
[0147] In this embodiment, the pre-data collection is a huge data system of different data types collected in the pre-preparation process, and the post-real-time data expansion is an auxiliary data system formed to supplement the applicable range of the data expansion model and adjust the model accuracy. The carbon emission reduction model for preparing green methanol from this single-type biomass raw material includes a large amount of data and constructs the correlation relationship of the whole process of producing 1 ton of methanol product (with a purity of 100% after conversion).
[0148] In one embodiment, before S81, it further includes:
[0149] S801, respectively set the weights of the carbon emissions generated in each stage of the full life cycle of green methanol. The weight of the carbon emissions generated in the raw material acquisition stage is W1, the weight of the carbon emissions generated in the production stage is W2, the weight of the carbon emissions generated in the transportation stage is W3, and the weight of the carbon emissions generated in the use stage is W4;
[0150] S802, multiply the carbon emissions in each stage of all the fourth type of executable solutions by the corresponding weights, and then sum them up to form the total carbon emissions of the full life cycle after the secondary operation; wherein,
[0151] When green methanol is directly used, the total carbon emissions of the full life cycle after the secondary operation is + + + ;
[0152] When green methanol is indirectly used, the total carbon emissions of the full life cycle after the secondary operation is + + + ;
[0153] When green methanol is partially directly and partially indirectly used, the total carbon emissions of the full life cycle after the secondary operation is + + + + ;
[0154] S803, select a variety of actual executable solutions according to the total carbon emissions of the full life cycle after the secondary operation for the user to choose from.
[0155] In this embodiment, during the actual application process, based on the gap between the actual executable solution given above and the total actual carbon emissions obtained after the user adopts the actual executable solution, the screening method of the actual executable solution is further optimized. In this embodiment, considering that the carbon emissions can be reduced by reasonably adjusting the transportation process during the transportation stage, the weight can be relatively low. The weights of the raw material acquisition stage and the production stage are relatively high. The weight of green methanol in the usage stage can be adjusted according to different usage methods. In this embodiment, the weights of each stage can be set as W1:W2:W3:W4 = 4:4:1:1, or the weights of each stage can be set as W1:W2:W3:W4 = 5:3:1:1. In this embodiment, through the secondary screening by setting different weights for each stage, the executable solutions with truly less carbon emissions are selected. The executable solutions after the secondary screening are more suitable for the actual application scenarios.
[0156] In another embodiment, after "selecting multiple actual executable solutions according to the total carbon emissions of the entire life cycle after the secondary operation", S81 - S83 can be further executed to find the optimal ratio of different biomass raw materials of the mixed biomass.
[0157] In another embodiment, from all the fourth - type executable solutions obtained after S70 or after S83, the top 50% of the executable solutions with the least total carbon emissions in the entire life cycle are screened out (the first screening);
[0158] Multiply the carbon emissions of each stage in the top 50% of the executable solutions with the least total carbon emissions in the entire life cycle that have been screened out by the corresponding weights, and then sum them up to form the total carbon emissions in the entire life cycle after the secondary operation (the second screening).
[0159] In this embodiment, first, a rough screening is carried out (the first screening selects the top 50% of the executable solutions with the least total carbon emissions in the entire life cycle), and then a fine screening is carried out (the secondary operation: the second screening multiplies the carbon emissions of each stage by the corresponding weights and then sums them up to form the total carbon emissions in the entire life cycle after the secondary operation, and selects the executable solution with the least total carbon emissions in the entire life cycle after the secondary operation as the actual executable solution recommended to the user). This avoids a large amount of repeated calculations and does not deviate from the user - preset conditions. In addition, the setting of the weights (W1, W2, W3, W4) can be combined with factors such as the economic cost, raw material availability, technological maturity, operation cost, and energy demand structure within the entire life cycle of green methanol. In this embodiment, through the result of the first operation, a rough screening is carried out, and through the result of the second operation, a fine screening is carried out. On the premise of meeting the user's needs, it helps the user select the executable solution of the mixable biomass with the least carbon emissions, avoiding multiple attempts in actual operation, saving time and cost, and reducing carbon emissions.
[0160] Specifically, in the above-mentioned Embodiment 2, the available usage options for the user include: direct usage, indirect usage, and partial direct and partial indirect usage. There are three methods in total, and the final executable options are 24×3 types, as shown in Table 7 below.

[0162]
[0163] Table 8: Schematic table of the total carbon emissions of all executable options in Embodiment 2

[0165] The above Table 8 shows 4 types of first-class executable options (mixed biomass raw materials) provided by the user, 3 production and treatment methods, 2 transportation methods, and 3 usage methods of green methanol during the usage stage, the carbon emissions in each stage, the total number of all executable options is 24×3 in total, and the total carbon emissions of all executable options. In the embodiments of the present application, there are the following three recommendation strategies for the user: First, as shown in Table 8, provide the user with three types of actual executable options with relatively low total carbon emissions after secondary calculation according to the three different usage methods of green methanol during the usage stage; Second, as shown in Table 7, calculate the carbon emissions of green methanol throughout the life cycle according to the three different usage methods of green methanol during the usage stage, sort them respectively, and select the executable options with relatively low carbon emissions, and then perform secondary calculation again. According to the results of the secondary calculation, select the executable options with relatively low total carbon emissions from the three different usage methods of green methanol during the usage stage as the actual executable options and provide them to the user; Third, after the first or the second, it further includes adjusting the doping ratio of the mixed biomass raw materials from the selected executable options, and simulating the total carbon emissions under different doping ratios, and providing the simulated doping ratio and the actual executable options selected in the first or the second to the user. Subsequently, the user can further consider the costs in each stage to select a specific implementation plan, thereby ensuring economic benefits on the premise of the lowest carbon emissions.
[0166] In one embodiment, the following formula (1) is used to calculate the carbon emissions of each executable option from raw material acquisition to the usage of green methanol throughout the life cycle:
[0167] Formula (1)
[0168] refers to the carbon emissions generated by the biomass raw materials required to obtain 1 ton of green methanol product during the raw material acquisition stage, Refers to the carbon emissions generated during the production stage for every 1 ton of green methanol product produced. Refers to the carbon emissions generated during the transportation stage for every 1 ton of green methanol product transported. Refers to the carbon emissions generated for every 1 ton of green methanol product used; 、 、 、 、 The units of 2 are all tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per ton of methanol, tCO 2 e / t methanol.
[0169] In one embodiment, during the raw material acquisition stage, each single type of the carbon emission reduction sub-model includes: a main production process unit and a raw material extraction unit. In the prior art, designs are made separately for biomass raw materials and industrial by-product raw materials. In this application, industrial by-product raw materials are not included, and only biomass raw materials are discussed.
[0170] The carbon emissions of biomass raw materials in the main production process unit are 0; the carbon emissions of biomass raw materials in the raw material extraction unit are the sum of the carbon emissions generated during the processes of planting biomass, collecting biomass, capturing biomass, and purifying biomass.
[0171] In this embodiment, the processes of planting, collecting, capturing, or purifying the main raw materials (biomass, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, etc.) before the green methanol production stage. The raw material acquisition stage is divided into a main production process unit and a raw material extraction unit, and calculations are carried out respectively with reference to the calculation method in (2). For biomass raw materials, this application specifically refers to biomass waste or residues (such as straw, wood chips), and the carbon emissions of its main production process unit (i.e., the planting process) are counted as 0. For industrial by-product raw materials, the carbon emissions of the main production process unit before raw material collection and purification cannot be ignored, and should be included in the carbon emissions of this raw material acquisition stage after carbon emission allocation according to the allocation principle, and finally form the carbon emissions of each raw material product, with the unit of tons of carbon emission equivalent per ton of dry weight (tCO2e / t). The allocation principle means that based on physical, economic, or other criteria, by dividing the input and output quantities of a process or product system between the analyzed product system and one or more other product systems, the multi-output process is divided into single-output unit processes. The input and output should be allocated to different products according to the clearly specified allocation procedure. The sum of the input and output allocated to a unit process should be equal to its input and output before allocation.
