Winning Idea Combined cooling system powered by renewable energy and carbon capture technology
Idea Description
General Descripition:
- The increased demand for air conditioning puts pressure on the power grid.
- Every degree Celsius of temperature, electricity use increases from 2% to 4%.
- Therefore, replacing the air-conditioning system with renewabal energy will lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a decrease in air temperatures.
- By retrofitting air conditioning (A/C) systems in houses, apartments, and office buildings with "existing technology" to capture CO2 and H2O from thin air.
The process:
- The HVAC system on your building would be retrofitted with a special filter.
- As the ac pulls the air in for cooling the filter would absorb carbon dioxide from the air and collect the water that's produced as a byproduct of the cooling process the air conditioner.
- Would also be fitted with an electrolyzer which is a divice that separate water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
- Then that hydrogen would go through chemical reaction process with the captured carbon dioxide resulting in a liquid hydrocarbon fuel that's chemically the same as petroleum-based fuel the whole system would be about the size of a shipping container.
- This renewable synthetic oil (crowd oil) replaces non-renewable fossil oil.
Challenges The Idea is Addressing
1- Pressures on the power grid. 2- Greenhouse gas emissions. 3- Increased temperatures of weather.
Benefits of Idea Implementation
1- Reducing the cost of the electricity bill. 2- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 3- Renewable hydrocarbon fuel production.
