Code and Data for “Strategies for decarbonizing natural gas with electrosynthesized methane”

This repository contains code and resultant datasets for “Strategies for decarbonizing natural gas with electrosynthesized methane” published in Cell Reports Physical Science summarized above. Code includes functions to calculate key combustion characteristics of electrogas and natural gas including Wobbe index, flammability limits, flame speed, ignition temperature, and nitrous oxides (NOx), CO and soot emissions. These combustion characteristics are calculated for potential electrogases as a function of device performance and also for a sampling of potential natural gases through a Monte Carlo study.

Scripts are also included which reproduce the figures found in the manuscript and supplemental information. Finally, this repository contains the datasets generated by these scripts as well as input tables and chemical mechanism files. See 1_README.txt for more information on individual files as well as the packages required to run scripts.

Note that the 'Original Format' should be downloaded rather than the 'Archival Format' to maintain compatibility for the flammability limit calculations.
