Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon emission reduction technology, and in particular to an optimized method for carbon emission reduction in the preparation of green methanol from mixed biomass feedstocks. Background Technology

[0002] Given the urgent global need to address climate change, the high carbon emissions from traditional fossil fuel methanol production pose a significant challenge, highlighting the unique advantages of biomass as a renewable resource in the carbon cycle. A carbon reduction optimization method for producing green methanol from mixed biomass feedstocks is proposed. Based on mixed biomass feedstocks, this method systematically optimizes processes including feedstock pretreatment, efficient conversion technology, carbon capture and utilization (CCUS) technology integration, and full life-cycle carbon footprint tracking. This achieves improved carbon reduction efficiency across the entire chain from biomass collection to methanol production. By synergistically utilizing multiple biomass sources, it overcomes the limitations of single feedstock supply, improves energy conversion efficiency, and reduces the carbon intensity per unit product. Simultaneously, process optimization reduces energy consumption and indirect emissions during production. Thus, while ensuring methanol's function as a clean energy carrier, it significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions throughout its production process. This not only directly promotes industrial decarbonization and contributes to achieving national "dual carbon" goals, but also builds a "negative carbon" production model through the maximization of biomass resources. This promotes the resource utilization of agricultural waste, the collaborative treatment of urban and rural organic waste, and the extension of the circular economy industrial chain, forming a closed-loop system of "waste-energy-carbon sink."

[0003] Existing carbon reduction models for green methanol typically categorize indirect methanol uses into three main types, failing to specify detailed product pathways. Furthermore, their lifecycle data largely relies on static assumptions rather than actual data. This results in an inability to accurately reflect the significant differences in carbon emissions among various high-value-added derivatives, potentially leading users to choose suboptimal carbon reduction solutions. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimization method for carbon reduction in the production of green methanol from mixed biomass feedstocks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an optimized carbon emission reduction method for preparing green methanol from mixed biomass feedstocks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An optimized method for carbon emission reduction in the preparation of green methanol from mixed biomass feedstocks includes the following steps: Step 1: Intelligent Evolution of Raw Material Mixing Ratio and Adaptive Optimization to Regional Climate: Construct a three-dimensional dynamic coupling model of calorific value, moisture content, and regional climate, collect calorific value and moisture content data of biomass raw materials in real time, and dynamically adjust the mixing ratio of different biomass raw materials in combination with climate data of the project location; Step 2: Green hydrogen-biomass synergistic preparation and dynamic balance of hydrogen-carbon ratio: Real-time monitoring of the electrical carbon intensity of the green electricity hydrogen production unit. When the electrical carbon intensity fluctuates beyond a preset threshold, the hydrogen flow rate is automatically adjusted by the controller to maintain the hydrogen-carbon ratio in the optimal range during the synthesis reaction. At the same time, the efficiency of the electrolyzer is predicted and warned by the predictive model. Step 3: Multi-level path tree expansion and intelligent feedback of recovery rate for methanol derivatives: Construct a production path tree containing multiple methanol derivatives. Each path has a preset full life cycle parameter package. Based on actual recovery rate data, the technology progress coefficient of the path is dynamically calibrated through the traceability platform, and the emission factor in the full life cycle parameter package is updated accordingly. Step 4: Uncertainty Quantification and Risk Assessment: Construct a probabilistic model that includes biomass yield per acre, electricity carbon intensity, transportation fuel prices, and policy subsidy coefficients. Output the confidence interval of total carbon emissions through Monte Carlo simulation, and identify key risk sources through sensitivity analysis to generate risk assessment results. Step 5: Dynamic loading of regional parameters and regional sensitivity compensation: Based on the input project coordinates, the corresponding regional parameter package is automatically loaded. When calculating transportation emissions, a correction factor based on real-time traffic data and regional new energy penetration rate is introduced to optimize the calculation accuracy of transportation emissions. Step Six: Dual-Dimensional Optimization Scheme Output and Decision Support: Integrate the risk assessment results and regional parameters, generate multiple carbon emission reduction optimization schemes through a cost-benefit analysis model, and output decision support information for each scheme, including expected carbon emissions, stability rating, and regional suitability score.

[0006] The above further includes: Furthermore, in step one, the three-dimensional dynamic coupling model of calorific value-moisture content-regional climate is constructed by an LSTM neural network and integrates a seasonal decay rate correction factor based on climate zoning data. The goal of dynamically adjusting the mixing ratio is to reduce the standard deviation of the calorific value of the mixed raw materials to within ±3%.

[0007] Furthermore, in step two, the controller is a PID controller, and the optimal range for the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio is 1.2-1.5; the prediction model is a deep learning algorithm model, used to provide early warning of the equipment aging risk of the electrolyzer.

[0008] Furthermore, in step three, the methanol derivatives include polyoxymethylene, formaldehyde, MTG gasoline, bio-based polyurethane, and carbon fiber precursors; the traceability platform is a blockchain-based recycling data traceability platform, used to collect recycling rate data in real time and feed it back into the function that calibrates the technological progress coefficient.

[0009] Furthermore, in step four, when constructing the probability model, a Copula function is introduced to model the correlation between the parameters. The sensitivity analysis is a Sobol sensitivity analysis, which is used to output the Sobol index of each parameter. The risk assessment results include a carbon emission reduction resilience index and a risk radar chart.

[0010] Furthermore, in step five, the regional parameter package includes climate zoning, power grid carbon intensity, and transportation corridor data; the correction factor is... Factors, the Factor calculation integrates real-time traffic congestion index and new energy truck penetration rate.

[0011] Furthermore, in step six, the formula for calculating the stability rating S is as follows: ,in, The standard deviation of total carbon emissions. The expected value of total carbon emissions; the regional suitability score is generated in real time based on the GIS system.

[0012] Furthermore, the data interaction in steps one through six is ​​achieved through a unified data interface, forming a closed loop for optimizing carbon emission reduction across the entire chain, from raw material ratio to scheme decision-making.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention introduces a multi-level path tree for methanol derivatives, including polyoxymethylene, formaldehyde, MTG gasoline, bio-based polyurethane, and carbon fiber precursors, through multi-level path tree expansion and intelligent feedback of recovery rates. A dynamically adjustable full lifecycle parameter package is preset for each path. By deploying a blockchain-based recycling data traceability platform, actual recovery rate data is collected in real time and used to feed back into the calibration of the technology progress coefficient, forming an intelligent closed loop of preset-measurement-feedback-optimization. This achieves refined and personalized calculation of the carbon footprint of different methanol derivatives, avoiding decision-making biases caused by a one-size-fits-all simplified classification. It upgrades the full lifecycle data from static assumptions to dynamic measurements, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of carbon emission reduction calculations.
