A method and system for converting low BTU synthesis gas (Syngas), and synthesis gas that has been generated in situ, into a higher BTU product while minimizing the process carbon footprint. Preferably, a plasma gassifier is used to generate the syngas. Sensible heat is recovered and applied to produce electricity. The syngas is water gas shifted to enhance hydrogen production. Gasification is performed in a pyrolysis mode of operation, a nitrogen reduced mode of operation, an oxygen enriched mode of operation, or a coke supplemented mode of operation. The syngas is delivered to a reactor to produce product. The reactor is any of a pellet style reactor, a monolith style reactor, a foam reactor, a ceramic foam reactor, an alumina oxide reactor, and an alpha alumina oxide reactor. |
