Hydrogen Energy Storage Based Biogas Power Plant in Bangladesh: Design and Optimal Cost Analysis

Energy demand has been rising sharply over the years around the globe. The era of fossil fuels is almost at its lattermost phase. Now renewable energy is creating a greater transformation in the global energy landscape. With its enormous population, Bangladesh is currently facing impending energy scarcity. Usage of sustainable and eco-friendly energy sources is the only way out of this emergency. In this paper, we have introduced a hybrid power plant consisting of biogas and Hydrogen energy and both of them belong to renewable energy sources. In Bangladesh, the agriculture sector's performance has been firmly flourishing in recent years and about 60 percent of overall agricultural output comes from the crops sub-sector like livestock and fisheries. We have chosen the Nahar Agro cattle farm situated in Mirsarai Upazilla of Chattogram as a project area for its decent amount of animal manure availability. The main objective of this proposed design is to attain a peak load demand of 25 kg/day in Chattogram and attain energy security without harming mother nature. The total generated Hydrogen is about 9350 kg/year which will fulfill a fraction of Hydrogen demand in the upcoming days and about 73865 kg generated by-product oxygen will help the nation greatly to overcome the medical oxygen crisis. The system design is optimized in HOMER Pro software.
