Abstract
A system and method for reducing the COin a gaseous stream between 33% up to and even in excess of 90%, by reducing CO. A gaseous stream that includes substantial amounts of COis provided to a reaction chamber along with HO (steam) and a carbon source such as charcoal, coke or other carbonaceous material. Carbon is provided to the chamber at a ratio (C/CO) of between about 0.100 to 0.850, and between about 0.200 to 0.900 of HO to the provided CO. The CO, HO and carbon are heated to between about 1500° F. and about 3000° F. at about one atmosphere to produce syngas (i.e. carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H)) and reduces the amount of CO. The Syngas may then be cleaned and provided to a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor or a Bio-catalytic synthesis reactor to produce a fuel, such as Methanol, Ethanol, Diesel and Jet Fuel.
