PECULIARITIES OF THE INTEGRATION OF ENERGY SYSTEMS WITH THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT IN THE TRANSITION PERIOD TOWARDS CLIMATE
Abstract
Complex energy systems, in the current period of transition to a climate-neutral society, comprise two fully functional subsystems, that of fossil fuel-based production and that of production from renewable energy sources. The functional coexistence of these subsystems is achieved due to the capture of the CO2 component from flue gases through the energy vector represented by green H2. This takes on both the role of energy accumulation and the role of transforming the CO2 component, captured during the combustion of fossil fuels, into synthetic fuels (CH4, CH3OH and HN3), ammonia being an increasingly used fuel. The accumulation of energy in the respective synthetic fuels becomes an important factor in covering the gap that may exist between energy production and demand with the increase in the share of volatile regenerative energy. Thus, the efficiency of the installations for the synthetic fuels CH4, CH3OH and HN3 is higher than that for the use of hydrogen. From an economic and social point of view, the injection of H2 into CH4 represents an application with a short implementation time and low costs. Another social aspect is represented by the production of thermal energy without the use of fossil fuels, represented by an increasingly widespread use of heat pumps. The use of heat pumps, as well as air cooled (conditioned) by the consumption of electricity, has a great interference with the electricity system. The work presents the interconnection of these issues related to the ecological production of electricity and thermal energy with those related to economic and social aspects.
