Abstract

A method for powering an internal combustion engine or other device powered by combustion includes a step of feeding a first stream of biogas to a catalytic reforming reactor in which the first stream contacts oxygen to form a first product stream comprising synthesis gas. The first product stream is combined with a second stream of biogas to form a second product stream. The second product stream is provided to a device powered by combustion. A system implementing the method is also provided.
