[0002] Traditional liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving stations mainly use cold energy for single purpose (such as power generation, refrigeration, etc.), and the cold energy utilization rate is low; in winter, seawater or the like is used as a gasification heat source, and due to the low water temperature, the gasification heat transfer efficiency is reduced, ice blockage is easily caused, and the stable supply of LNG is affected; some receiving stations use natural gas combustion to heat the heat source to alleviate the above problems, but the CO2 generated by combustion is directly discharged, which not only wastes carbon resources but also increases the environmental burden.
[0003] Hydrogen energy is an important energy storage medium, and the fuel cell in the current market needs to use high-purity hydrogen, and the main component of LNG, methane, cannot directly enter the fuel cell; the existing hydrogen source relies on the purchase of high-pressure hydrogen (long transportation distance and high cost) or on-site electrolysis (high power consumption and high impurity risk), which is difficult to meet the demand for low-cost and stable hydrogen supply; although steam methane reforming (SMR) can be considered: it is one of the main ways of large-scale hydrogen production, but it needs to supply high-purity water, purchase electricity, and install a CO2 capture device, which has high overall energy consumption and water consumption, and does not meet the development direction of zero-carbon hydrogen energy.
[0004] At the same time, the LNG receiving station, the CO2 capture device, the power generation device and the hydrogen production equipment are independently constructed, which has the problems of equipment duplication, large occupation area, low overall energy efficiency and material flow fragmentation; in the future, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles and other scenarios have an urgent need for distributed, low-cost and low-carbon hydrogen sources, and the existing technical route is difficult to quickly replicate to LNG terminals, floating devices and ocean-going ships.
