Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to zero carbon. [Background technology]
[0002] The inventor invented a "water-powered car" and obtained patents in Japan and the U.S. A Canadian company uses the invention, as does a Japanese car manufacturer. The present invention is a further development of the above-mentioned invention by the inventor. In recent years, there has been much talk about decarbonization, and an initiative called GX (Green Transformation) has made companies' SDG strategy priorities public, forcing each company to take further steps toward decarbonization. The EU insists that only electric vehicles will be used to achieve carbon zero, and the president of a Japanese manufacturer that was once the world's number one has recently been replaced, perhaps because he cannot keep up with this. In addition, many internal combustion engine engineers and 10,000 related industries are losing their jobs. This invention will save these companies and society. In addition, the EU will allow synthetic fuels on March 28, 2023. This invention is in accordance with this new EU policy. Moreover, this invention will help employees in the oil and oil refining industries. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] The EU is focusing on EVs because of its carbon-zero goal, but the inventor, who is lecturing at MIT, came to the conclusion in conversation with a colleague who is also a professor at MIT that EVs are no good because of the high cost of the batteries, the difficulty in obtaining rare metals, their lifespan, heavy weight, short driving range, and high vehicle price. In addition, there are problems such as unemployment at 10,000 gasoline engine companies and engineers. On the other hand, hydrogen engines can utilize gasoline engine technology, but the lack of widespread hydrogen stations remains an issue. This invention is an important invention that solves these issues. As mentioned above, the EU has recently made it acceptable to use conventional engines if they use alternative fuels. This invention meets the new EU standards and is an invention that will save gasoline-powered vehicles, oil, and oil refining companies and their employees. Hydrogen and synthetic fuels produced using the Fischer-Tropsch process are now produced in huge plants, but there is no practice of setting up independent small facilities for various mobile vehicles. Current automobiles still have some space that can be utilized more effectively. This invention utilizes the interior space of the automobile more effectively and utilizes heat generated by the automobile to efficiently reduce CO2 emissions. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] The problem can be solved by recovering the electricity and heat energy generated when the vehicle is stopped or on a slope to generate O2, H2, and synthetic fuel, which can then be used to remove CO2 from its source. The generated H2 and synthetic fuel can then be used in the internal combustion engine to run the vehicle. Effect of the Invention
[0005] 1. The engine runs on fossil fuels, but is carbon-free. 2.Complies with new EU standards. 3. Prevent and save traditional domestic fuel engines and engineers from losing their jobs. 4. It will save conventional engine vehicles and 10,000 subcontractors. 5. It can save oil and oil refining companies and their employees. 6. You can travel long distances and fuel costs are cheaper. 7. Wasted exhaust energy can be utilized. 8. Synthetic fuels can be produced. 9. EV charging plugs and infrastructure will not be required. 10. Hydrogen station filling infrastructure will be unnecessary. 11. It will be possible to make cars that are cheaper than electric cars. 12. Japan will not lose to electric vehicle manufacturers in emerging countries. 13.CO2 can be removed, eliminating accidents caused by CO2. 14. It saves fuel. 15. Lighter vehicles will cause less damage to roads, so road repair costs will be cheaper. 16. The vehicle body is lighter, so there is less tire dust, which is better for the environment. 17. Since the weight of the car is lighter, tires wear out less and become more economical. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] When an engine runs on fossil fuels, CO2 is produced. Hybrid cars save energy but produce CO2. Electric vehicles (EVs) use electricity that does not produce CO2, but because the electricity is generated from fossil fuels, electric vehicles still produce CO2. In the EU, cars that run on synthetic fuels have been approved. There have been no inventions that can both remove CO2 and create synthetic fuel. This invention is an invention that can achieve both. Until now, only electric vehicles have been permitted in order to achieve zero carbon emissions. However, EVs have caused problems such as rare earth batteries, cost, fuel, short lifespan, heavy weight, short driving range, high vehicle prices, unemployment of gasoline engine engineers, and unemployment of the 10,000 subcontractors who manufacture the 10,000 parts that make up gasoline engine equipment. They also require infrastructure for electricity supply sockets, and will cause social problems as oil and refining companies and their employees will lose their jobs. On the other hand, although hydrogen vehicles can utilize gasoline engine technology, the lack of widespread hydrogen stations has been a social issue and they have not yet been put to practical use. The present invention is an important invention that solves all of these problems. As shown in Fig. 1, a known mobile vehicle is an energy-saving vehicle that uses regenerative energy in a normal vehicle, such as a hybrid vehicle, and is equipped with a vehicle body 1, a drive engine 2, and a drive motor 5 that also functions as a generator and is connected to a battery 4. The engine 2 also generates and stores electricity in the battery 4, but CO2 is generated by the exhaust.
[0008] [First embodiment of the present invention] The first embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 2 and subsequent figures. This uses fossil fuels in the engine and does not emit CO2. An exhaust gas (CO2) generating unit 2 such as a gasoline engine, a CO2 device (CO2 decomposition device) 6, an electricity supply device 4, a water supply unit 7, and a heating unit 714 are connected by an exhaust pipe 3, a water pipe 712, a hot water pipe 713, and a cable 41 to form an integrated mobile body or device system 10. Here, when heating with an engine, the solubility of CO2 in water decreases, so high pressure is preferable.
[0009] The combination of the integrated system according to the first embodiment of the present invention is an invention of a system that has the effect of saving energy, improving fuel efficiency by generating and adding fuel, and removing CO2, improving the environment.
[0010] [Second embodiment of the present invention] In order to drive a car, the known techniques include a method using only the engine 2 in FIG. 1, or a method of driving a car using, for example, a hybrid car with an engine and a motor connected to a battery to improve fuel efficiency, or a method of driving a car using a motor connected to a battery, but these methods generate CO2. Also, there are electric vehicles that run on electrical energy and claim to emit no CO2, but the electricity used to charge these vehicles is produced at power plants that emit CO2, so overall they still emit CO2. In Japan, where the ratio of natural energy generation is not high, electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, which generates a large amount of CO2. This method does not reduce CO2. Therefore, the second embodiment of the present invention is to prevent each vehicle from generating CO2, but instead generate energy and use the vehicle's energy efficiently. A second embodiment of the present invention is an automobile that utilizes fossil fuels more efficiently, uses as little electricity as possible, and produces no CO2. This is when CO2 and H2O are combined and decomposed by electrolysis, etc. CO2+H2O=H2+CO3 This allows us to produce H2 and eliminate CO2. When dissolved in water, it becomes a weakly acidic carbonate ion, which is harmless and can be removed as a salt, for example, or diluted with a large amount of water and used in carbonated drinks, etc. This invention is not a gasoline vehicle, hybrid vehicle, electric vehicle, or hydrogen vehicle, but a revolutionary vehicle of a completely different dimension, which we call the "Doctor NC vehicle." It can be installed at low cost regardless of the body, engine, or gasoline vehicle, and is also environmentally friendly.
[0011] [Third embodiment of the present invention] As shown in FIG. 3, the automobile of the present invention does not have an exhaust pipe at the rear, unlike an ordinary automobile, so no exhaust gas comes out from the rear. Instead, a CO2 device 6 is directly connected 3 to the engine 2. Water heated by the radiator 71 is supplied from the radiator 71 through a pipe 712, and 711 is a water inlet. The H2 generated in the CO2 device 6 travels through a pipe 8 to the engine 2. 2 is the engine and its fuel tank. The power source for electrolysis of the CO2 device 6 is supplied from the battery 4 through a cable 41. Alternatively, the motor 5 in FIG. 3 can supply rotational energy through an electric cable 42.
[0012] To reiterate, when fuel is burned to drive the engine 2, exhaust gas containing CO2 is generated. This exhaust gas is not released outside, but introduced into the CO2 device 6. Also, water is introduced into the radiator 71 from the inlet 711, where it is heated through the radiator 71 and then introduced to the CO2 device 6 via the water pipe 712, electricity from the battery 4 is sent to the CO2 device 6 via the cable 41, the pressure inside the CO2 device is increased by injecting CO2 into the CO2 device 6, and the CO2 is recovered as hydrogen and carbon dioxide, and the hydrogen fuel 605 generated is used to drive part or all of the engine 2 or 9. Alternatively, the engine 9 may generate electricity using the generator 5 and store the electricity in the battery 4 .
[0013] [Fourth embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention of a recycling engine in which a CO2 device 6 is installed near the exit of the exhaust pipe 3 of a conventional vehicle, and regenerative energy is used to turn a generator 5 which also serves as a drive motor, and the electricity generated is used to convert the CO2 in the exhaust gas 3 into hydrogen 605 using water from a water tank 7 through a pipe 713, which in turn is used to generate the driving force for a hydrogen combustion engine 9 to move the vehicle. The generator 5, which also serves as a drive motor using regenerative energy, supplies power to the CO2 device 6 through the electricity distribution device 51 when braking or when the engine is in use. When the motor 5 is in operation, power is distributed so that it is supplied from the battery 4 to the motor. This will minimize electricity consumption, reduce storage losses, eliminate CO2 emissions, and recycle energy.
[0014] [Fifth embodiment of the present invention] In Figs. 4 and 5, the device of the present invention is provided in the exhaust pipe 3, and water is supplied to the device through a route other than a radiator, using water 7 from a tank, thereby electrolyzing the water. FIG. 5 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention in which a solar panel 130 and a solar panel cooling water pipe 131 are provided on the horizontal surface of the automobile to supply electricity and water to the automobile.
[0015] [Sixth embodiment of the present invention] The sixth embodiment of the present invention is a drive system that uses energy from braking or going uphill to generate electricity to electrolyze water to generate hydrogen, combines with CO2 to reduce CO2 to zero, or returns the H2 to the internal combustion engine to use as fuel, or creates a synthetic fuel from the H2 and CO2 generated above and burns it as energy for the internal combustion engine. This is a groundbreaking invention that can be used to create a car (called Doctor NC) that is completely different from conventional hybrid internal combustion engines, hydrogen cars, and EVs, and can be applied to many other things other than cars, such as ships, aircraft, tractors, and ground engines, and these are also included in the present invention.
[0016] [Seventh embodiment of the present invention] In the seventh embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the block diagram of Fig. 6, a car runs on an engine 601, and electricity is generated from energy 602 generated when going down a slope or braking to stop the car, and water is decomposed 604 to generate O2 and H2. This generated H2 605 is used as fuel to run the car on hydrogen or other fuels using the engine 601. The CO2 emitted from the engine 601 is electrolyzed into CO3 and stored in a tank, which can also be used for soil improvement 607. In addition, the O2 generated acts as a supercharger fuel to help with running. Therefore, this invention can also be used for hydrogen vehicles, and since it can utilize hydrogen engine and gasoline engine engineers and their technologies, in an era when we are switching from gasoline engines to EVs, it is a groundbreaking invention that can be used without putting gasoline engine technology, its research, and engineers out of work, without putting the equipment and partner companies of existing automobile companies out of work, and without wasting equipment, and also makes hydrogen stations unnecessary. As mentioned above, the energy generated when going downhill or braking to a stop is used to turn a generator to generate electricity, which is then used to electrolyze water into H2 and O2. This technique is well known and will not be described in detail here.
[0017] [Eighth embodiment of the present invention] In the seventh embodiment, the generated H2 and O2 are used as fuel, whereas in the eighth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, CO2 706 exhausted by the engine 701 while the vehicle is running and electricity 703 generated by turning a generator on a slope or while braking are used to electrolyze water to generate H2, which is used to create synthetic fuel 705, which is returned to the engine 701 and used as fuel. This is the seventh embodiment of the present invention, and is shown in the block diagram from FIG. 7. That is, the seventh embodiment of the present invention produces a synthetic fuel 705 from H2+CO2 and performs engine running 701.
[0018] [Ninth embodiment of the present invention] In Fig. 7, the CO2 706 emitted from the traveling engine 11 is converted to CO (or CO 707 and H2 704) using a catalyst with electricity, and the heat 708 from the engine 11 is used to create synthetic fuel 709 using a catalyst, and the vehicle travels in this eighth embodiment of the present invention. Whether it is a direct FT reaction CO2+H2 as shown in Fig. 8, or a CO+H2 reaction by the FT method, the present invention utilizes the heat and electricity generated by the engine when the vehicle is traveling. The catalyst can be a metal-based porous material, but a catalyst that produces fuel with a carbon chain number of 4 to 20 is selected. This method produces synthetic fuel that meets the new EU standards mentioned above, and since there is no need to supply synthetic fuel from other sources, it also eliminates the need for social infrastructure to supply synthetic fuel, and since it utilizes heat, efficiency is further improved.
[0019] [Tenth embodiment of the present invention] A tenth embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The system is characterized by using electricity generated by a generator 5 rotated by tires 28 and water 110 from a radiator 71 of an engine 9 to carry out a CO2 reaction 6 and / or water electrolysis 14.
[0020] [Eleventh embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 10 shows an eleventh embodiment of the present invention. This is a diagram showing how synthetic fuel 17 is produced in a synthesis reaction device 15 using H2 605 produced by electrolysis in a water electrolysis device 14 using electricity from a generator 5 installed or connected to a tire 28 and water 110, water 110 introduced into an engine water cooling device 70 for an engine 11 and heated to 300 to 400 degrees, and exhaust gas CO2 13, and used as fuel for the engine 11.
[0021] [Twelfth embodiment of the present invention] As shown in Fig. 11, a CO2 reactor 6 and / or a synthetic fuel synthesizer 15 (not shown) is provided directly on the engine 11 and is directly heated by heat 1101 of the engine 11. The CO2 reactor and / or the synthetic fuel synthesizer is in direct contact with a vehicle or the like and utilizes heat 903 generated by braking. The CO2 reactor and / or the synthetic fuel synthesizer provided on the vehicle takes in not only exhaust gas but also air 21 generated by running to decompose CO2. The invention is directed to a device in which the water 110 is heated to 300 to 400 degrees, and a catalyst is used in a synthesis reaction device (not shown) to produce synthetic fuel 709, which is then used to drive the engine 11.
[0022] [Thirteenth embodiment of the present invention] As shown in FIG. 12, when the car is going up a slope or stopping, the heat 281 generated by the brakes and the heat 1101 from the engine cooling device 70 surrounding the engine 11 are collected 1102. Also, the air 21 taken in as the car moves is collected in the CO2 decomposition device 6 that separates and captures CO2, and in the synthesis reaction device 15 to produce synthetic fuel 17, which is then used in the engine 11.
[0023] [Fourteenth embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 13 shows a fourteenth embodiment of the present invention, which is a fourteenth embodiment in which the present invention is provided on a tractor. The tractor exhaust gas 3 is converted into hydrogen or synthetic fuel using the CO2 device 6 and the water in the radiator 71, a water electrolysis device, a synthetic reaction device (not shown as they have already been described), etc., which saves on tractor fuel costs and allows operation without generating CO2. Carbon dioxide generated by the electrolysis of the exhaust gas and water is extracted and neutralized by combining with calcium, for example, and discharged through pipe 62 to be used as land fertilizer.
[0024] [Fifteenth embodiment of the present invention] 14 shows a CO2 device 6 of the present invention provided on the exhaust section 221 of a jet engine 22 provided on the wing of an aircraft 1 according to a fifteenth embodiment of the present invention. The electricity is led to the CO2 device 6 via a device 714 that uses the heat of the jet engine 22 to heat the device 714 from a device 16 that captures moisture from fog and rain clouds, and is sent to the CO2 device 6. The electricity is generated by a small propeller 19 that rotates a generator and battery 20 in flight and generates hydrogen or synthetic fuel, which is used as fuel for all or part of the jet engine.
[0025] [Sixteenth embodiment of the present invention] Fig. 15 shows the 16th embodiment. A CO2 device 6 and / or a water electrolysis device or a synthetic reaction device is provided at the exhaust port of the engine 11 of the ship 1, seawater is taken from seawater and collected by a water collection device 73, and the water heated by a pipe 131 provided under a solar panel 130 is supplied to the CO2 device 6 by a pipe 731, and the seawater is electrolyzed using electricity from the solar panel 130 to generate hydrogen, or the synthetic fuel is created, which is sent to the engine 11 (modified to use synthetic fuel) as auxiliary fuel. This saves fuel, and since seawater is utilized, the cost of storing water is reduced. Furthermore, CO2 is converted into CO3, which is then released from a chimney 111 or used as fertilizer.
[0026] [Seventeenth embodiment of the present invention] The seventeenth embodiment of the present invention addresses the issue of CO2 gas coming out of the chimneys of various chemical reactions. FIG. 16 shows a factory 1 having a chimney 111 that emits smoke containing CO2 by combustion, with a CO2 device 6 and / or a water electrolysis device or a synthesis reaction device installed at the tip of the chimney 111, and rain 23 from a rainwater receiver 12, water heated by a pipe 131 under a solar panel 130, electricity from the solar panel 130, and electricity from a windmill generator 24 are supplied to this, and the CO2 is decomposed to obtain hydrogen and synthetic fuel, which can be used as a hydrogen or synthetic fuel station 81 to run company cars 29 or as private electrical energy in a hydrogen or synthetic fuel power generation device 91, and the CO2 can be converted into CO3 or used for soil improvement as described above. This is the 17th embodiment of the present invention.
[0027] [Eighteenth embodiment of the present invention] As shown in FIG. 17, this is an 18th embodiment of the present invention in which the present invention is used in a detached house. The CO2 device 6 and / or water electrolysis device or synthetic reaction device of the present invention are installed at the outlet of the CO2 generation source 25 in the home, and rainwater 23 collected in a rain catcher 12 is passed through a water supply pipe 131 of a solar panel 130 installed under the solar panel 130 installed on the south-facing slope of the roof, and the water is heated, and at the same time, the temperature of the solar panel 130 is lowered by the water in 23, increasing the power generation efficiency of the solar panel 130, and this hot water is sent to the CO2 device 6. The hydrogen and synthetic fuel generated here are sent through a pipe 8 to a private hydrogen synthetic fuel station 81 so that they can be supplied to private cars 29.
[0028] According to the 18th embodiment of the present invention, in places such as Kawasaki City, Kyoto, and Gunma, the installation of solar panels is mandatory for newly constructed detached houses in order to curb the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the use of the present invention not only utilizes natural energy, but also has the effect of directly reducing greenhouse gas emissions rather than indirectly.
[0029] [Nineteenth embodiment of the present invention] Figure 18 shows a system in which multiple solar panels 130 are provided, several of which are floated on the ocean surface 26 and connected to a raft 27 with a hinge 271. Seawater 26 from a CO2 device 6 and / or a water electrolysis device or synthesis reaction device, an atmospheric CO2 intake port 61 and a seawater intake port (pump not shown) 261 is heated by the solar heat hitting the solar panels 130 through a water supply pipe 131 provided under the solar panels 130, and sent to the CO2 device 6. The seawater 26 may be passed through a filter 711 . The electricity used in the present invention may be electricity generated by the power generation technology (utilizing wind power, wave power, sunlight, solar heat, tides, and temperature differences) shown in Patent Application No. 2022-136927 invented and filed by the present inventor. The CO2 device is supplied with electricity from solar panels 130 or the like, which operates the CO2 device 6 to obtain hydrogen and synthetic fuel 8, which are then stored in a hydrogen storage tank (station) 81. The obtained hydrogen and synthetic fuel 8 are also sent to nearby ships or distant land for use. This invention has great advantages, not only for reducing CO2 in the atmosphere, but also for generating electricity, hydrogen, and synthetic fuels.
[0030] [Twentieth embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 19 shows the twentieth embodiment of the present invention, in which the distillation purification section 30 of the synthetic fuel synthesis device 15 is provided at the rear of a moving body such as an automobile, and cooling piping 31 is provided on the ceiling (FIG. 19(A)). In addition, the present invention further includes an exhaust gas compressor 33, a polymer membrane filter 32 for CO2 separation, and a high-pressure CO2 tank 34 under the seat (FIG. 19(B)). In FIG. 19(A), electrolysis 14 is performed using water 7 from the water supply section and electricity supplied from a battery 4 to produce H2 605, and CO2 is extracted and concentrated from the exhaust gas 3 using a polymer membrane filter or the like 32. The H2 and concentrated CO2 are then used in a synthetic fuel synthesis device 15 to produce synthetic fuel, which is then purified by reducing pressure and heating in a distillation purification section 30 to produce refined synthetic fuel. The distillation device of the distillation and purification section 30 is small-sized for use in a moving body such as an automobile, and is heated and vaporized using the heat of the engine. The synthetic fuel after distillation is cooled by the piping that runs around the periphery of the automobile, and the refined synthetic fuel is cooled by the wind 31 caused by the movement of the automobile, and is used as liquid fuel for the engine 2. In the synthetic fuel synthesis device 15, agitation may be performed by using the rotation of a tire or an engine motor, or by using the wind generated by movement to rotate a windmill. In Fig. 19(B), the exhaust gas is compressed by a compressor 33 and a filter 32 under the rear seat, and CO2 is extracted and stored in a high-pressure (gas or liquefied) tank 34 to be used as the CO2 raw material for the synthetic fuel device 15. The heat generated during compression is used for heating the interior of the vehicle and for heating the distillation and purification section.
[0031] According to the twentieth embodiment of the present invention, by refining synthetic fuel on board a moving body (such as an automobile), it is possible to effectively utilize the heat, wind, and rotation generated during movement to complete the production of synthetic fuel on the moving body. In addition, by producing refined synthetic fuel, it is possible to reduce engine trouble. In addition, compressed CO2 can be supplied by effectively utilizing the space under the seats, such as in the non-sliding rear seats, making it possible to produce synthetic fuel even more efficiently. The vehicle of this invention, which circulates CO2 without releasing it outside and completes the process inside the vehicle, is called "Dr.NaCarMaz" or "Dr.NACARMATS." It is a Mobile Advanced Technology System for cars (Car, CAR).
[0032] In this embodiment, H2 605 is produced in the moving body (vehicle) by electrolysis 14, but it is also possible to provide only an H2 tank in the moving body (vehicle) and supply compressed H2 from the outside. In addition, in the electrolysis 14, the efficiency of H2 extraction may be increased by using a polymer membrane filter.
[0033] [21st embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 20 shows a twenty-first embodiment of the present invention, characterized in that devices installed inside the vehicle, such as a CO2 treatment device or refinery device, are replaced with devices outside the vehicle (for example, devices in a large-scale plant factory). FIG. 20(A) is a schematic diagram thereof, and FIG. 20(B) shows an example of an apparatus in which the present invention is installed in a vehicle. Exhaust gas 3 from a gasoline engine 2 is extracted and separated into CO2 and residual gas by a CO2 extraction device 32. The CO2 extraction device 32 performs filtering and then CO2 extraction membrane (membrane separation). The CO2 is compressed by a compressor 33 and stored in a CO2 tank 34. The CO2 tank stores CO2 gas or liquid. Once a certain amount has been stored, the vehicle is moved to a location where CO2 processing is possible, and the stored CO2 is moved to an external CO2 processing device. The CO2 is then decomposed and refined for effective use. Residual gases generated by the engine exhaust gas are passed through a known residual treatment (such as a Nox treatment device) 321 and then exhausted from the vehicle.
[0034] According to the 21st embodiment of the present invention, a compressor 33 and a storage tank 34 are provided inside the vehicle and CO2 is processed outside the vehicle, eliminating the need to install complex equipment in the vehicle, reducing the vehicle weight and making effective use of space, and reducing costs by allowing the CO2 to be processed all at once in the factory.
[0035] [Twenty-second embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 21(A) shows a 22nd embodiment of the present invention, which is characterized in that, instead of performing the CO2 treatment device outside the vehicle, CO2 is stored as a synthetic fuel inside the vehicle, and is refined and stored outside the vehicle. Figure 21(B) shows another form of the 22nd embodiment of the present invention, characterized in that while the CO2 stored in the CO2 tank 34 is moved outside the vehicle, hydrogen, oxygen or synthetic fuel produced in a CO2 reactor or synthetic fuel synthesis device is supplied from outside the vehicle to the vehicle to drive the engine (in Figure 21(B) hydrogen is supplied. And the vehicle and the external CO2 reactor and synthetic fuel synthesis device circulate around the CO2 to form a closed system). According to the twenty-second embodiment of the present invention, a treatment device is provided outside the vehicle and fuel is supplied to the vehicle, thereby making it possible to reduce CO2 emissions more efficiently.
[0036] [Twenty-third embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 22 shows a twenty-third embodiment of the present invention, in which the synthetic fuel produced by the synthetic fuel synthesis device 15 is used as the fuel 8 without being highly refined, the synthetic fuel synthesis device 15 is provided in contact with the engine 36 to utilize the heat of the engine, and the engine is a diesel engine or a gas turbine engine 36. FIG. 22(A) is a schematic diagram, and (B) is an example of the device installed in a car. The exhaust gas 3 discharged from a diesel engine or a gas turbine engine 36 has CO2 extracted by a CO2 extractor 32, and the residual gas is treated by a treatment device 321 and discharged outside the vehicle. The extracted CO2 is compressed by a compressor 33 and stored in a CO2 tank 34. Then, in a synthetic fuel synthesis device 15 provided on the upper part of an engine 36, CO2 is supplied, and H2 produced by electrolysis 14 of water is also supplied, and synthetic fuel 8 is produced. The cold and heat energy generated by compression and evaporation in the system is used by a heat exchanger to heat equipment inside the vehicle, or for the radiator, thereby circulating the energy. The CO2 extraction device 32 may extract only high-concentration CO2 through a filter and a polymer membrane. The H2 supplied to the synthetic fuel synthesis device 15 is generated by electrolyzing water 14, but high-purity, high-concentration H2 may also be generated by polymer membrane electrolysis. Furthermore, a compressed H2 tank may be provided and H2 may be supplied from an external facility.
[0037] According to the twenty-third embodiment of the present invention, fuel that is not highly refined is used, so costs and equipment are reduced, vehicle weight is reduced, and energy is saved.
[0038] The synthetic fuel synthesis apparatus 15 described in all the embodiments of the present invention may have a synthesis section and a purification section, or may have only a synthesis section. The present invention also includes a case where the purification section does not perform distillation purification or performs simple distillation purification with a small number of stages, and uses a diesel engine or a gas turbine engine.
[0039] [Twenty-fourth embodiment of the present invention] FIG. 23 shows the 24th embodiment of the present invention, which is a closed system for circulating CO2 within the premises of a factory or other location having a combustion device containing CO2 and an exhaust section, and is characterized by the fact that there is no external release of CO2 and no impact on global warming. The exhaust gas discharged from the combustion device 10 extracts 32 CO2, and the residual 321 is exhausted from the chimney 111. The extracted 32 CO2 13 is supplied to the synthetic fuel synthesis device 15. In addition, water is electrolyzed 14 using electricity generated from natural energy such as a solar panel 130 to generate H2, which is supplied to the synthetic fuel synthesis device 15. The synthesized fuel passes through the purification section 30 and is supplied to the combustion device 10 as a highly pure synthetic fuel 17. According to the 24th embodiment of the present invention, CO2 is recycled within the combustion system, making it possible to construct a system that does not discharge CO2 outside the system.
[0040] [Twenty-fifth embodiment of the present invention] 24 and 25 show a 25th embodiment of the present invention, which is characterized by being provided with a device that uses sunlight to decompose CO2 into CO, and circulating energy within the vehicle to form a closed system. FIG. 24 shows a block diagram of the present invention. The present invention will be explained with reference to FIG. Exhaust gas 3 generated from engines 2, 11 is extracted and separated into CO2 and residual gas by a CO2 extraction device 32. The CO2 is then compressed by a compressor and stored in a CO2 tank 34. In a CO generation device 40 using a catalyst mounted on the roof of the vehicle, the CO2 is reduced using solar energy to obtain CO. Then, a synthetic fuel is generated by a synthetic fuel synthesis device 15 using hydrogen generated by electrolysis of water in the radiator or tank, or hydrogen 37 supplied to the H2 tank from outside the vehicle as shown in FIG. 25, and the CO. This synthetic fuel is sent to the engine 11 to serve as a driving source. The remaining exhaust gas after CO2 extraction is treated with a catalytic converter to remove NOx, etc., and is compressed and stored in a tank39, and is not discharged. It is then transported to an exhaust gas treatment plant for treatment. According to the 25th embodiment of the present invention, a system that does not discharge CO2 to the outside of the system can be realized by circulating CO2 inside the vehicle. In addition, since CO2 is generated by a CO2 generation device that uses sunlight, the equipment can be reduced compared to electrolysis processing.

According to the twenty-sixth embodiment of the present invention, since the treatment device is not provided inside the vehicle, the vehicle becomes lighter and more space is created, and the external CO2 and CO treatment device can be made larger, thereby improving the efficiency of CO2 reduction.
