<p>The process and system of the invention converts carbonaceous feedstock from fossil fuels and other combustible materials into electrical energy without the production of unwanted greenhouse emissions. The process and system uses a combination of a gasifier (112) and a reformer (120) to convert the feedstock and a greenhouse gas into a synthesis gas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen. One portion of the synthesis gas becomes electrochemically oxidized in an electricity-producing fuel cell (120), to produce an exit gas comprising carbon dioxide and water, which are separated, with the carbon dioxide being recycled back to the gasifier. The other portion of the synthesis gas from the gasifier is converted into useful hydrocarbon products.</p> |
