In a process for producing hydrocarbon products onboard a marine vessel, from at least one gas, liquid or solid, carbonaceous feedstock, the improvement comprising the steps of:
- conducting gasification in a thermal conversion plant that is operationally connected to an onboard power plant unit;
- forming a hydrocarbon in a chemical reaction plant;
- and,
- sending a gas stream intermediate product from the thermal conversion plant to the chemical reaction plant.
A process for producing a hydrocarbon product from a carbonaceous feedstock implemented onboard a marine vessel, and the marine vessel subsequently distributing the hydrocarbon product to at least one remote site, comprising the steps of:
- having a predetermined mass of metal onboard a marine vessel;
- heating the metal mass into a molten metal;
- holding the molten metal in a containment vessel;
- introducing a carbonaceous feedstock into contact with the molten metal;
- producing and yielding an intermediate gas stream from the molten metal;
- collecting the intermediate gas stream;
- subjecting the intermediate gas stream to a chemical catalytic reaction for yielding a predetermined hydrocarbon product;
- collecting thermal heat generated by the chemical catalytic reaction to a heat recovery system, the heat recovery system generating energy for use by the marine vessel;
- collecting the hydrocarbon product onboard the marine vessel;
- and,
- distributing the hydrocarbon product to at least one remote site.
