A method of generating a synthesis gas product stream (168) and carbon dioxide in which a fuel is combusted in an oxygen transport membrane combustor (10) to produce a flue gas stream (12) containing the carbon dioxide and water. Reforming duty is divided between a combined reforming process (14, 18) and a gas heated reformer (22) to produce the product stream. The flue gas stream (12) is used to supply heat to a primary, steam methane reforming stage (14) of the combined reforming process (14, 18). Residual methane, produced in the primary stage, is reacted in a secondary stage having an oxygen transport membrane reactor (18). Heat produced in the secondary stage is supplied to the gas heated reactor (22) to support its operation. The flue gas stream (12) is cooled (26) and water (30) is separated therefrom to produce the carbon dioxide (32) at a concentration of at least 85 mol percent .
