Question: Bakshi 9 . 5 : An Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle ( IGCC ) plant can convert coal and water to electricity and hydrogen. The carbon

Bakshi 9.5: An Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant can convert coal and water to electricity and hydrogen. The carbon dioxide from such a process may be captured by a doublestage solvent such as Selexol. The main inputs to such a system are 5426 tonnes of Coal and 21,787m3 of water to produce 560 tons of hydrogen, 30.3MW of electricity, 11,253 tons of pure carbon dioxide, and 1293 tons of carbon dioxide in flue gas. The cost of hydrogen is $2110 per ton, electricity is $1800 per MW, pure CO2 is $37 per ton, and flue gas is zero [10]. Allocate water use among the products of this process by the following approaches and discuss the pros and cons of each approach for this allocation problem.:
i. Mass-based allocation
ii. Energy-based allocation
iii. Monetary-based allocation
