Description
Summary:This paper assesses a novel use for LNG cold energy utilization which liquefies air to be used in cryo-cogeneration systems adopted in road vehicles and data centres. The study investigates four scenarios which contemplate different combinations and levels of integration between the LNG terminal, the cryo-cogeneration system, the road vehicles (namely Transport Refrigerated Units and Public buses). The comparison amongst the four scenarios was conducted by considering the impact of the proposed solutions on CO2 emissions reduction and running costs savings.
