New Fischer-Tropsch-ready syngas preparation strategies from coal and natural gas using solid oxide fuel cells

For energy polygeneration processes (the simultaneous generation of multiple energy products such as liquid fuels, chemical products, and electricity in a tightly integrated system), the key defining characteristic is the manner in which syngas is created with an appropriate H 2:CO ratio. Many options are possible, primarily using some combination of coal and/or biomass gasification, natural gas reforming, the water gas shift reaction, hydrogen …
