The main TIRFE technologies are: cogeneration of H2 and EE (electric energy) by H2-BGSCW/TEU (biomass gasification in supercritical water integrated with a thermoelectric unit); use of H2 from biomass in oil refinery processes for production of light and clean derivatives; supply of 1-12 deficiency for methanol production from coal; carbon sequestration by a basket of technologies (exhausted petroleum and gas) wells, underground saline aquifers, forests and stockpile of cellulignin-CL-produced from forest residues); use of H2-BGSCW/TEU as district CHP (combined heat and power) with photovoltaic panels for EE, including electric car battery recharge; optimization of energy consumption by verticalization of the cities replacing low strength materials (bricks and common cement) by high performance concrete with addition of silica from rice husk. TIRFE helps to solve key problems of H2-BGSCW/TEU, such as materials, energy recovery, plugging, corrosion, economics and energy security for the first generation of plants, and organizes the development for the second generation. TIRFE can be incrementally implanted in existent and new cities.展开更多
