Gasoline manufacturing system or method

摘要

Provided is a system or method for manufacturing gasoline from natural gas, said system or method being particularly effective in a place wherein water usable for steam reforming cannot be easily obtained, for example, in a desert which is a natural gas producing place, or on the sea. This system for manufacturing gasoline from natural gas via methanol includes: subjecting natural gas to steam reforming in a steam reformer (20) to form a reformed gas; synthesizing methanol from the reformed gas in a methanol synthesizer (30); synthesizing gasoline from the methanol in a gasoline synthesizer (50); and subjecting water generated in the gasoline synthesizer (50) to reuse in the steam reformer (20) for steam reforming.
