Summary: | The invention relates to a method and a plant for generating electrical energy from a process gas obtained via gasification of fuels in an iron melt. In conventional processes, only the sensible heat contained in the process gas had previously been used for generating electricity by means of a steam turbine and generator, while the process gas itself was passed to other consumers. The process according to the invention and the plant required for carrying out the process provides an environmentally safe possibility for using pyrolytic and electrochemical conversion of carbon-containing fuels to generate electrical energy with a higher efficiency than in conventional power stations. This is achieved according to the invention by the carbon-containing fuels being gasified in an iron melt to produce a sulphur-free process gas, and the process gas then being directly converted into electrical energy in a high-temperature fuel cell battery. The hot waste gas produced is afterburned and in a combined gas-steam turbine is likewise converted into electrical energy. |
