Development of the design concept of HSEGC:
the Hydrogen Sulfide Energy-Generating Complex


For the first time the analysis was performed and the choice was made of the scenarios for extensive use of hydrogen sulfide resources of the Black Sea zone and of the methods reducing the energy consumption in the process of obtaining hydrogen and polymer sulfur due to the application of different-type renewable energies (Fig.1-2).

Fig. 2 – Renewable energy sources in the Crimean region

On the base of literature data and of our own physical models we calculated the specific efficiencies of renewable energies available in the Crimean region (Fig.3).

It is seen that the main contribution into the energy balance of HSEC can be made by the following technologies:

	OTEC-technology - Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion;

	osmotic technologies of water-saltiness vertical gradient utilization;

	small-scale hydropower industry using the lifted water energy;

	integration with technologies of solid domestic waste (SDW) gasification.
