Abstract
The present invention relates to the conversion of flue gas to valuable products, in particular to the conversion of carbon dioxide in flue gas to liquid fuels and valuable carbons in a carbon negative manner.
Claims19
A process to convert flue gas to combustible fuels, using biomass and natural gas as additional inputs, comprising:
- a) Pyrolyzing said biomass to produce biochar and volatile gases b) Gasifying a portion of said biochar in the presence carbon dioxide obtained from said flue gas to produce carbon monoxide and activated carbon in a first gasification system;
- c) Gasifying a portion of said biochar in the presence of natural gas to produce hydrogen and carbon black in a second gasification system and;
- d) Combining the generated carbon monoxide and hydrogen from the first and second gasification systems and inputting this combination in a hydrocarbon synthesis process to produce combustible fuels.
A process according to claim1, wherein the carbon black is produced with the aid of microwave energy.
