Abstract
A method and a device of producing a synthetic material are provided. Water (H20) is converted into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) using a high-temperature electrolysis, water vapor (H20D) being formed during the high-temperature electrolysis. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is added to the hydrogen (H2) and water vapor (H2OD). The mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen (H2) and water vapor (H2OD) is subjected to a catalytic reaction, wherein, through the catalytic reaction, the hydrogen (H2), the water vapor (H2OD) and the carbon dioxide (CO2) are transformed into a synthetic gas (H2/CO/CO2/H2O/CH4). Exothermic processes are executed during the transforming into the synthetic gas.
