Abstract
Methods for producing syngas (e.g., Hand CO) include introducing a stream comprising HO and COto a high-temperature co-electrolysis (HTCE) unit. A COsweep gas is also introduced to the HTCE unit. Both HO and COare reduced in the HTCE unit to form the syngas and to form Othat is swept away from the HTCE unit by the COsweep gas, and the Oand COare then introduced to a combustion device (e.g., a gasifier), which may be configured to generate electrical power, as a result of combusting a carbonaceous fuel in the presence of the Oand CO. The HTCE unit is powered at least in part by power from an electricity-generating sub-system (e.g., at least one nuclear power plant). Related systems are also disclosed.
