Abstract
A method for producing a product includes providing a first feed including a biomass into a reactor, providing a second feed including a carbonaceous material into the reactor, and providing a third feed including carbon dioxide into the reactor. The first feed, the second feed, and the third feed react in the reactor with reaction conditions sufficient to: a) gasify the biomass, b) dry reform the carbonaceous materials with the carbon dioxide, and c) produce the product. A conversion system and a reactor are also provided.

A method for producing a product, the method comprising:
- providing a first feed into a reactor, the first feed comprising a biomass;
- providing a second feed into the reactor, the second feed comprising a carbonaceous material;
- providing a third feed into the reactor, the third feed comprising carbon dioxide;
- and
- reacting the first feed, the second feed, and the third feed in the reactor with reaction conditions sufficient to:
- a) gasify the biomass,
- b) dry reform the carbonaceous materials with the carbon dioxide, and
- c) produce the product.
A conversion system adapted to produce a synthesis gas, the conversion system comprising:
- a reactor, the reactor comprising:
- a housing;
- a first source for delivering a biomass;
- a second source for delivering a carbonaceous material;
- a third source for delivering a carbon dioxide;
- and
- a fluidized bed comprising fluidizing solids,
- wherein the fluidized bed and the housing are adapted to react a delivered biomass, a delivered carbonaceous material, and delivered carbon dioxide under reaction conditions sufficient to gasify the biomass, to dry reform the carbonaceous material with the carbon dioxide, and to produce a synthesis gas product.
A reactor, comprising:
- a housing;
- a first feed port adapted to receive a biomass;
- a second feed port adapted to separately receive carbonaceous material and carbon dioxide;
- and
- a fluidized bed comprising fluidizing solids,
- wherein the reactor contains gasified biomass, carbonaceous material dry reformed with carbon dioxide, fluidizing solids, and a synthesis gas.
