Hydrogen for Harvesting the Potential of Offshore Wind: A North Sea Case Study
Dec 2023
Publication
Economical offshore wind developments depend on alternatives for cost-efficient transmission of the generated energy to connecting markets. Distance to shore availability of an offshore power grid and scale of the wind farm may impede export through power cables. Conversion to H2 through offshore electrolysis may for certain offshore wind assets be a future option to enable energy export. Here we analyse the cost sensitivity of offshore electrolysis for harvesting offshore wind in the North Sea using a technology-detailed multi-carrier energy system modelling framework for analysis of energy export. We include multiple investment options for electric power and hydrogen export including HVDC cables new hydrogen pipelines tie-in to existing pipelines and pipelines with linepacking. Existing hydropower is included in the modelling and the effect on offshore electrolysis from increased pumping capacity in the hydropower system is analysed. Considering the lack of empirical cost data on offshore electrolysis as well as the high uncertainty in future electricity and H2 prices we analyse the cost sensitivity of offshore electrolysis in the North Sea by comparing costs relative to onshore electrolysis and energy prices relative to a nominal scenario. Offshore electrolysis is shown to be particularly sensitive to the electricity price and an electricity price of 1.5 times the baseline assumption was needed to provide sufficient offshore energy for any significant offshore electrolysis investments. On the other hand too high electricity prices would have a negative impact on offshore electrolysis because the energy is more valuable as electricity even at the cost of increased wind power curtailment. This shows that there is a window-of-opportunity in terms of onshore electricity where offshore electrolysis can play a significant role in the production of H2 . Pumped hydropower increases the maximum installed offshore electrolysis at the optimal electricity and H2 prices and makes offshore electrolysis more competitive at low electricity prices. Linepacking can make offshore electrolysis investments more robust against low H2 and high electricity prices as it allow for more variable H2 production through storing excess energy from offshore. The increased electrolysis capacity needed for variable electrolyser operation and linepacking is installed onshore due to its lower CAPEX compared to offshore installations.
Economic Evaluation and Technoeconomic Resilience Analysis of Two Routes for Hydrogen Production via Indirect Gasification in North Colombia
Nov 2023
Publication
Hydrogen has become a prospective energy carrier for a cleaner more sustainable economy offering carbon-free energy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and address climate change challenges. However hydrogen production faces significant technological and economic hurdles that must be overcome to reveal its highest potential. This study focused on evaluating the economics and technoeconomic resilience of two large-scale hydrogen production routes from African palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) by indirect gasification. Computer-aided process engineering (CAPE) assessed multiple scenarios to identify bottlenecks and optimize economic performance indicators like gross profits including depreciation after-tax profitability payback period and net present value. Resilience for each route was also assessed considering raw material costs and the market price of hydrogen in relation to gross profits and after-tax profitability. Route 1 achieved a gross profit (DGP) of USD 47.12 million and a profit after taxes (PAT) of USD 28.74 million while Route 2 achieved a DGP of USD 46.53 million and a PAT of USD 28.38 million. The results indicated that Route 2 involving hydrogen production through an indirect gasification reactor with a Selexol solvent unit for carbon dioxide removal demonstrated greater resilience in terms of raw material costs and product selling price.
CCS Industrial Clusters: Building a Social License to Operate
Jun 2022
Publication
This paper explores the opportunities for and progress in establishing a social licence to operate (SLO) for CCS in industrial clusters in the UK focusing on the perspectives of key stakeholders. The evolution of narratives and networks relating to geographical clusters as niches for CCS in industrial decarbonisation is evaluated in relation to seven pillars supporting SLO. Evidence is drawn from a combination of cluster mapping documentary analysis and stakeholder interviews to identify the wider contexts underpinning industrial decarbonisation stakeholder networks interaction and communication critical narratives the conditions for establishing trust and confidence different scales of social licence and maintaining a SLO. The delivery of a sustainable industrial decarbonisation strategy will depend on multiple layers of social licence involving discourses at different scales and potentially for different systems (heat transport different industrial processes). Despite setbacks as a result of funding cancellations and changes to government policy the UK is positioned to be at the forefront of CCS deployment. While there is a high ambition and a strong narrative from government of the urgency to accelerate projects involving CCS clear coordinated strategy and funding frameworks are necessary to build confidence that UK policy is both compatible with net zero and economically viable.
Design of an Innovative System for Hydrogen Production by Electrolysis Using Waste Heat Recovery Technology in Natural Gas Engines
May 2024
Publication
This research proposes designing and implementing a system to produce hydrogen utilizing the thermal energy from the exhaust gases in a natural gas engine. For the construction of the system a thermoelectric generator was used to convert the thermal energy from the exhaust gases into electrical power and an electrolyzer bank to produce hydrogen. The system was evaluated using a natural gas engine which operated at a constant speed (2400 rpm) and six load conditions (20 % 40 % 60 % 80 % and 100 %). The effect of hydrogen on the engine was evaluated with fuel mixtures (NG + 10 % HEF and NG + 15 % HEF). The results demonstrate that the NG + 10 % HEF and NG + 15 % HEF mixtures allow for a decrease of 1.84 % and 2.33 % in BSFC and an increase of 1.88 % and 2.38 % in BTE. Through the NG + 15 % HEF mixture the engine achieved an energy efficiency of 34.15 % and an exergetic efficiency of 32.84 %. Additionally the NG + 15 % HEF mixture reduces annual CO CO2 and HC emissions by 9.52 % 15.48 % and 13.39 % respectively. The addition of hydrogen positively impacts the engine’s economic cost allowing for a decrease of 1.56 % in the cost of useful work and a reduction of 3.32 % in the cost of exergy loss. In general the proposed system for hydrogen production represents an alternative for utilizing the residual energy from exhaust gases resulting in better performance parameters reduced annual pollutant emissions and lower economic costs.
Techno-economic Analysis of Large-scale Green Hydrogen Production and Storage
Jun 2023
Publication
Producing clean energy and minimising energy waste are essential to achieve the United Nations sustainable development goals such as Sustainable Development Goal 7 and 13. This research analyses the techno-economic potential of waste heat recovery from multi-MW scale green hydrogen production. A 10 MW proton exchange membrane electrolysis process is modelled with a heat recovery system coupled with an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to drive the mechanical compression of hydrogen. The technical results demonstrate that when implementing waste heat recovery coupled with an ORC the first-law efficiency of electrolyser increases from 71.4% to 98%. The ORC can generate sufficient power to drive the hydrogen's compression from the outlet pressure at the electrolyser 30 bar up to 200 bar. An economic analysis is conducted to calculate the levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH) of system and assess the feasibility of implementing waste heat recovery coupled with ORC. The results reveal that electricity prices dominate the LCOH. When electricity prices are low (e.g. dedicated offshore wind electricity) the LCOH is higher when implementing heat recovery. The additional capital expenditure and operating expenditure associated with the ORC increases the LCOH and these additional costs outweigh the savings generated by not purchasing electricity for compression. On the other hand heat recovery and ORC become attractive and feasible when grid electricity prices are higher.
Plastic and Waste Tire Pyrolysis Focused on Hydrogen Production—A Review
Dec 2022
Publication
In this review we compare hydrogen production from waste by pyrolysis and bioprocesses. In contrast the pyrolysis feed was limited to plastic and tire waste unlikely to be utilized by biological decomposition methods. Recent risks of pyrolysis such as pollutant emissions during the heat decomposition of polymers and high energy demands were described and compared to thresholds of bioprocesses such as dark fermentation. Many pyrolysis reactors have been adapted for plastic pyrolysis after successful investigation experiences involving waste tires. Pyrolysis can transform these wastes into other petroleum products for reuse or for energy carriers such as hydrogen. Plastic and tire pyrolysis is part of an alternative synthesis method for smart polymers including semi-conductive polymers. Pyrolysis is less expensive than gasification and requires a lower energy demand with lower emissions of hazardous pollutants. Short-time utilization of these wastes without the emission of metals into the environment can be solved using pyrolysis. Plastic wastes after pyrolysis produce up to 20 times more hydrogen than dark fermentation from 1 kg of waste. The research summarizes recent achievements in plastic and tire waste pyrolysis development.
Adaptive Network Fuzzy Inference System and Particle Swarm Optimization of Biohydrogen Production Process
Sep 2022
Publication
Green hydrogen is considered to be one of the best candidates for fossil fuels in the near future. Bio-hydrogen production from the dark fermentation of organic materials including organic wastes is one of the most cost-effective and promising methods for hydrogen production. One of the main challenges posed by this method is the low production rate. Therefore optimizing the operating parameters such as the initial pH value operating temperature N/C ratio and organic concentration (xylose) plays a significant role in determining the hydrogen production rate. The experimental optimization of such parameters is complex expensive and lengthy. The present research used an experimental data asset adaptive network fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) modeling and particle swarm optimization to model and optimize hydrogen production. The coupling between ANFIS and PSO demonstrated a robust effect which was evident through the improvement in the hydrogen production based on the four input parameters. The results were compared with the experimental and RSM optimization models. The proposed method demonstrated an increase in the biohydrogen production of 100 mL/L compared to the experimental results and a 200 mL/L increase compared to the results obtained using ANOVA.
Assessing Sizing Optimality of OFF-GRID AC-Linked Solar PV-PEM Systems for Hydrogen Production
Jul 2023
Publication
Herein a novel methodology to perform optimal sizing of AC-linked solar PV-PEM systems is proposed. The novelty of this work is the proposition of the solar plant to electrolyzer capacity ratio (AC/AC ratio) as optimization variable. The impact of this AC/AC ratio on the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) and the deviation of the solar DC/AC ratio when optimized specifically for hydrogen production are quantified. Case studies covering a Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI) range of 1400e2600 kWh/m2 -year are assessed. The obtained LCOHs range between 5.9 and 11.3 USD/kgH2 depending on sizing and location. The AC/AC ratio is found to strongly affect cost production and LCOH optimality while the optimal solar DC/AC ratio varies up to 54% when optimized to minimize the cost of hydrogen instead of the cost of energy only. Larger oversizing is required for low GHI locations; however H2 production is more sensitive to sizing ratios for high GHI locations.
Techno-economic Analysis to Identify the Optimal Conditions for Green Hydrogen Production
Jun 2023
Publication
The intermittency of renewable energy sources necessitates energy storage to meet the full demand and balancing requirements of the grid. Green hydrogen (H2) is a chemical energy carrier that can be used in a flexible manner and store large amounts of energy for long periods of time. This techno-economic analysis investigates H2 production from wind using commercially available desalination and electrolysis units. Proton exchange membrane and alkaline electrolyser units are utilised and compared. The intermittency of wind is examined with comparison against grid-bought electricity. A model is developed to determine the selling price required to ensure profitability over a 10-year period. Firstly where H2 is produced using energy from the grid with electricity purchased when below a specified price point or between specified hours. In the second scenario a wind turbine is owned by the user and the electricity price is not considered while the turbine capital expenditure is. The price of H2 production from wind is found to be comparable with natural gas derived H2 at a larger scale with a minimum selling price calculated to be 4.85 £/kg at a setpoint of 500 kg of H2/hr. At a setpoint of 50 kg of H2/hr this is significantly higher at 12.10 £/kg. In both cases the alkaline electrolyser produced cheaper H2. This study demonstrates an economy of scale with H2 prices decreasing with increased scale. H2 prices are also closely linked to the capital expenditure with the equipment size space and safety identified as limiting factors.
Italian Offshore Platform and Depleted Reservoir Conversion in the Energy Transition Perspective
Aug 2023
Publication
New hypotheses for reusing platforms reaching their end-of-life have been investigated in several works discussing the potential conversions of these infrastructures from recreational tourism to fish farming. In this perspective paper we discuss the conversion options that could be of interest in the context of the current energy transition with reference to the off-shore Italian scenario. The study was developed in support of the development of a national strategy aimed at favoring a circular economy and the reuse of existing infrastructure for the implementation of the energy transition. Thus the investigated options include the onboard production of renewable energy hydrogen production from seawater through electrolyzers CO2 capture and valorization and platform reuse for underground fluid storage in depleted reservoirs once produced through platforms. Case histories are developed with reference to a typical fictitious platform in the Adriatic Sea Italy to provide an engineering-based approach to these different conversion options. The coupling of the platform with the underground storage to set the optimal operational conditions is managed through the forecast of the reservoir performance with advanced numerical models able to simulate the complexity of the phenomena occurring in the presence of coupled hydrodynamic geomechanical geochemical thermal and biological processes. The results of our study are very encouraging because they reveal that no technical environmental or safety issues prevent the conversion of offshore platforms into valuable infrastructure contributing to achieving the energy transition targets as long as the selection of the conversion option to deploy is designed taking into account the system specificity and including the depleted reservoir to which it is connected when relevant. Socio-economic issues were not investigated as they were out of the scope of the project.
CFD Modeling and Experimental Validation of an Alkaline Water Electrolysis Cell for Hydrogen Production
Dec 2020
Publication
Although alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) is the most widespread technology for hydrogen production by electrolysis its electrochemical and fluid dynamic optimization has rarely been addressed simultaneously using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. In this regard a two-dimensional (2D) CFD model of an AWE cell has been developed using COMSOL® software and then experimentally validated. The model involves transport equations for both liquid and gas phases as well as equations for the electric current conservation. This multiphysics approach allows the model to simultaneously analyze the fluid dynamic and electrochemical phenomena involved in an electrolysis cell. The electrical response was evaluated in terms of polarization curve (voltage vs. current density) at different operating conditions: temperature electrolyte conductivity and electrode-diaphragm distance. For all cases the model fits very well with the experimental data with an error of less than 1% for the polarization curves. Moreover the model successfully simulates the changes on gas profiles along the cell according to current density electrolyte flow rate and electrode-diaphragm distance. The combination of electrochemical and fluid dynamics studies provides comprehensive information and makes the model a promising tool for electrolysis cell design.
Electrocatalysts for the Generation of Hydrogen, Oxygen and Synthesis Gas
Sep 2016
Publication
Water electrolysis is the most promising method for efficient production of high purity hydrogen (and oxygen) while the required power input for the electrolysis process can be provided by renewable sources (e.g. solar or wind). The thus produced hydrogen can be used either directly as a fuel or as a reducing agent in chemical processes such as in Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. Water splitting can be realized both at low temperatures (typically below 100 °C) and at high temperatures (steam water electrolysis at 500– 1000 °C) while different ionic agents can be electrochemically transferred during the electrolysis process (OH− H+ O2− ). Singular requirements apply in each of the electrolysis technologies (alkaline polymer electrolyte membrane and solid oxide electrolysis) for ensuring high electrocatalytic activity and long-term stability. The aim of the present article is to provide a brief overview on the effect of the nature and structure of the catalyst–electrode materials on the electrolyzer’s performance. Past findings and recent progress in the development of efficient anode and cathode materials appropriate for large-scale water electrolysis are presented. The current trends limitations and perspectives for future developments are summarized for the diverse electrolysis technologies of water splitting while the case of CO2/H2O co-electrolysis (for synthesis gas production) is also discussed.
Hydrogen Production from Renewable Energy Resources: A Case Study
May 2024
Publication
In the face of increasing demand for hydrogen a feasibility study is conducted on its production by using Renewable Energy Resources (RERs) especially from wind and solar sources with the latter preferring photovoltaic technology. The analysis performed is based on climate data for the Province of Brindisi Apulia Italy. The various types of electrolyzers will be analyzed ultimately choosing the one that best suits the case study under consideration. The technical aspect of the land consumption for RER exploitation until 2050 is analyzed for the Italian case of study and for the Apulia Region. For both the 200 MW and 100 MW RER Power Plants an economic analysis is carried out on the opportunities for using hydrogen. In the last part of the economic analysis the trade-off between the high specific investment cost and the Capacity Factor of Wind technologies is also investigated. The results show the affordability of building high-scale Wind Farms harnessing the existing scale economies. The lowest Hydrogen selling price is achieved by the 200 MW Wind Farms equal to 222 €/MWh against 232 €/MWh of the 200 MW Photovoltaic (PV) Farm. Finally the feasibility analysis considers also the greenhouse gas emission reduction by including in the economic analysis the carbon dioxide (CO2) Average Auction Clearing Price leading for the 200 MW Wind Farms to a hydrogen selling price equal to 191.2 €/MWh against 201 €/MWh of the 200 MW Photovoltaic Farm.
Renewable-power-assisted Production of Hydrogen and Liquid Hydrocarbons from Natural Gas: Techno-economic Analysis
Jun 2022
Publication
The declining cost of renewable power has engendered growing interest in leveraging this power for the production of chemicals and synthetic fuels. Here renewable power is added to the gas-to-liquid (GTL) process through Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis in order to increase process efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Accordingly two realistic configurations are considered which differ primarily in the syngas preparation step. In the first configuration solid oxide steam electrolysis cells (SOEC) in combination with an autothermal reformer (ATR) are used to produce synthesis gas with the right composition while in the second configuration an electrically-heated steam methane reformer (E-SMR) is utilized for syngas production. The results support the idea of adding power to the GTL process mainly by increased process efficiencies and reduced process emissions. Assuming renewable power is available the process emissions would be 200 and 400 gCO2 L1 syncrude for the first and second configurations respectively. Configuration 1 and 2 show 8 and 4 times less emission per liter syncrude produced respectively compared to a GTL plant without H2 addition with a process emission of 1570 gCO2 L1 syncrude. By studying the two designs based on FT production carbon efficiency and FT catalyst volume a better alternative is to add renewable power to the SOEC (configuration 1) rather than using it in an E-SMR (configuration 2). Given an electricity price of $100/MW h and natural gas price of 5 $ per GJ FT syncrude and H2 can be produced at a cost between $15/MW h and $16/MW h. These designs are considered to better utilize the available carbon resources and thus expedite the transition to a low-carbon economy
Green Hydrogen: Resources Consumption, Technological Maturity, and Regulatory Framework
Aug 2023
Publication
Current climate crisis makes the need for reducing carbon emissions more than evident. For this reason renewable energy sources are expected to play a fundamental role. However these sources are not controllable but depend on the weather conditions. Therefore green hydrogen (hydrogen produced from water electrolysis using renewable energies) is emerging as the key energy carrier to solve this problem. Although different properties of hydrogen have been widely studied some key aspects such as the water and energy footprint as well as the technological development and the regulatory framework of green hydrogen in different parts of the world have not been analysed in depth. This work performs a data-driven analysis of these three pillars: water and energy footprint technological maturity and regulatory framework of green hydrogen technology. Results will allow the evaluation of green hydrogen deployment both the current situation and expectations. Regarding the water footprint this is lower than that of other fossil fuels and competitive with other types of hydrogen while the energy footprint is higher than that of other fuels. Additionally results show that technological and regulatory framework for hydrogen is not fully developed and there is a great inequality in green hydrogen legislation in different regions of the world.
Optimal Parameter Determination of Membrane Bioreactor to Boost Biohydrogen Production-Based Integration of ANFIS Modeling and Honey Badger Algorithm
Jan 2023
Publication
Hydrogen is a new promising energy source. Three operating parameters including inlet gas flow rate pH and impeller speed mainly determine the biohydrogen production from membrane bioreactor. The work aims to boost biohydrogen production by determining the optimal values of the control parameters. The proposed methodology contains two parts: modeling and parameter estimation. A robust ANIFS model to simulate a membrane bioreactor has been constructed for the modeling stage. Compared with RMS thanks to ANFIS the RMSE decreased from 2.89 using ANOVA to 0.0183 using ANFIS. Capturing the proper correlation between the inputs and output of the membrane bioreactor process system encourages the constructed ANFIS model to predict the output performance exactly. Then the optimal operating parameters were identified using the honey badger algorithm. During the optimization process inlet gas flow rate pH and impeller speed are used as decision variables whereas the biohydrogen production is the objective function required to be maximum. The integration between ANFIS and HBA boosted the hydrogen production yield from 23.8 L to 25.52 L increasing by 7.22%.
Green Hydrogen and Electrical Power Production through the Integration of CO2 Capturing from Biogas: Process Optimization and Dynamic Control
Jun 2021
Publication
This study describes the optimization of a modelling process concerning biogas’ use to generate green hydrogen and electrical power. The Aspen Plus simulation tool is used to model the procedure and the approach employed to limit the emissions of gas from the hydrogen production process will be the CO2 capture method. This technique uses slack lime (Ca(OH)2) to absorb CO2 capture since it is readily available. The study analyzes many critical parameters in the process including the temperature and pressure in the steam reforming (SR) and the water gas shift (WGS) reactions along with the steam to carbon ratio (S/C) to determine how the production of green hydrogen and electrical power will be influenced. Electricity generation is achieved by taking the residual water from the SR WGS carbonation reactions and converting it to the vapour phase allowing the steam to pass through the turbine to generate electricity. To examine the effects of the synchronized critical parameters response surface methodology (RSM) was used thus allowing the optimal operational conditions to be determined in the form of an optimized zone for operation. The result of parameter optimization gave the maximum green hydrogen production of 211.46 kmol/hr and electric power production of 2311.68 kWh representing increases of 34.86% and 5.62% respectively when using 100 kmol/hr of biogas. In addition control structures were also built to control the reactors’ temperature in the dynamic section. The tuning parameters can control the SR and WGS system’s reactor to maintain the system in approximately 0.29 h and 0.32 h respectively.
System-Level Offshore Wind Energy and Hydrogen Generation Availability and Operations and Maintenance Costs
May 2024
Publication
With the current trends of wind energy already playing a major part in the Scottish energy supply the capacity of wind farms is predicted to grow exponentially and reach further depths offshore. However a key challenge that presents itself is the integration of large producing assets into the current UK grid. One potential solution to this is green hydrogen production which is being heavily researched in industry with many concepts being investigated for large-scale purposes. However the operations and maintenance (O&M) costs and availability of green hydrogen systems need to be quantified to ensure economical and technical viability which is sparse in the available literature. The study presented in this paper investigated the availability and O&M costs of coupled wind–hydrogen systems by attempting to quantify the failure rates repair times repair costs and number of technicians required for key green hydrogen components. This study also utilised an O&M model created by the University of Strathclyde which uses Monte Carlo Markov chain simulations to produce the O&M outputs. A number of assumptions were made throughout the study in relation to the O&M model inputs and the baseline availability for the coupled wind–hydrogen system was 85.24%. Whilst the wind turbine still contributed a major part to the downtime seen in the simulations the combined hydrogen system also contributed a significant amount a total of 37% which could have been due to the technology readiness levels of some the components included in the hydrogen system.

May 2024
Publication
As the commercialisation of two contrasting solar-powered water splitting devices with lower TRLs of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser systems and photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems gains momentum the path towards a sustainable H2 economy is taking shape. Ongoing pilot projects and demonstration plants are proving the feasibility and potential of these technologies in real-world applications. However to ensure their success we must confront the critical challenges of cost reduction and efficiency enhancement making green H2 economically competitive with traditional production methods. To achieve this a collaborative effort among academia industry and policymakers is paramount. This comprehensive review begins by examining traditional water electrolysis methods focusing on the production of green H2 through electrochemical splitting. It delves into crucial components and advancements in the PEM systems addressing challenges related to catalysts membranes gas diffusion layers and bipolar plates. The review also explores solar-driven PEC water splitting emphasizing the significance of efficient photoelectrodes and reactor design. Additionally it discusses the integration of photovoltaic cells with electrochemical or PEC systems for higher H2 yield. Commercialisation is underway and this endeavour necessitates a collaborative approach with active involvement from academia industry and policymakers. This collective effort not only propels us towards greener and more sustainable energy solutions but also represents a transformative step in the global journey towards a sustainable and environmentally conscious economy.
Green Hydrogen Production through Ammonia Decomposition Using Non-Thermal Plasma
Sep 2023
Publication
Liquid hydrogen carriers will soon play a significant role in transporting energy. The key factors that are considered when assessing the applicability of ammonia cracking in large-scale projects are as follows: high energy density easy storage and distribution the simplicity of the overall process and a low or zero-carbon footprint. Thermal systems used for recovering H2 from ammonia require a reaction unit and catalyst that operates at a high temperature (550–800 ◦C) for the complete conversion of ammonia which has a negative effect on the economics of the process. A non-thermal plasma (NTP) solution is the answer to this problem. Ammonia becomes a reliable hydrogen carrier and in combination with NTP offers the high conversion of the dehydrogenation process at a relatively low temperature so that zero-carbon pure hydrogen can be transported over long distances. This paper provides a critical overview of ammonia decomposition systems that focus on non-thermal methods especially under plasma conditions. The review shows that the process has various positive aspects and is an innovative process that has only been reported to a limited extent.
