• 4 electron orbitals

7
Thermochemical Heats of Reactions
kJ/mol

• C2H2OCaO--gtCaCO32H2 -88

Net Exothermic Reaction
Thus H2 can be directly formed
in a hot sink of jetting lime
by continuous feeding of reactants

Oil Sands to H2 Reduce Consumption Of Natural
Gas Reduce CO2 Emissions Use Oil Sands
Bourne Calcium as the Sorbent

H2Production Strategy

• Natural Gas to H2
• Relatively Easy but
• Very Expensive

Natural Gas to H2
PyStR Technology can replace Natural Gas with Oil
Sands
Then Polish PyStR Produced H2 Stream
for Ultra Pure H2

Use of Oil Sands Bourne Calcium as the Carbon
Sorbent A Possibility

• High Calcium Levels
• As Calcite (Limestone)
• Dolomite

15
PyStRTechnology

• 1 Step Process to H2
• Any Fuel Capability
• Vessel (no moving parts)
• No Exotic Materials

Economics of Hydrogen

• Cost is Equivalent to 8 per gal Gasoline
• (per US DoE)

17
Various Energy Costs(Typical 2006 USA)
(/mil-Btu)

• Electricity _at_ 0.12/kWhr 35
• Propane _at_ 12/20lb tank 17
• Gasoline _at_2.25/US gal 16
• Heating Oil _at_2.20/US gal 16
• Natural Gas _at_ 6.50/Therm 6
• Hardwood _at_ 150/chord 6
• Coal _at_ 60/ton 2
• Wood Chips _at_ 15/ton 1
• Hydrogen _at_ 8/equivGal 57
• (Basis 3413Btu/kW, 92,700Btu/galPpne,
  140,600Btu/galGslne, 26milBtu/chord,

Target Applications
Pyrolysis Flare Look Closely at Flame

• Direct Oil Sands to Hydrogen
• Biomass to Hydrogen in 1 Step
• Methane to Hydrogen in 1 Step

21
How it Works
Step 3 Direct Carbon Dioxide
Step 1 Direct Hydrogen
Step 2 Solids/Gas Separation

22
