The 30th International Conference on Solar Power & Chemical Energy Systems allowed SOLARX partners to present the design of a high heat flux solar reactor receiver used for low carbon hydrogen production by the dry reforming of biosourced methane.
Emeric Désilets, from Université de Sherbrooke and representing CNRS, showcased key studies on hydrogen reactor design during the SolarPACES Conference 2024 event that took place from October 8-11, 2024 in Rome, Italy in the Auditorium della Tecnica.
Emeric noted that the conference was really informative in regards to progress and efforts currently deployed in concrete engineering solutions for the utilization of concentrated solar/thermal energy on a worldwide basis:
“Our presentation allowed us to present the design of a high heat flux solar reactor receiver used for low carbon hydrogen production by the dry reforming of biosourced methane.
Precisely, some of the results provided by Jean-François Dufault (poster’s first author) tell us about optimal ranges of values for operating parameters such as reactor temperature, inlet flow, incident solar flux, etc., for this specific reactor configuration.”
