Integrated CO2 capture
 The project aims to develop technologies
for production of electricity and valuable
feedstock products with integrated CO2
capture.
 The primary objective is to develop a
tubular pyrolysis unit with an alternating
mode for gasification producing CO as
feed gas to a solid oxide fuel cell
 The project will focus on reactor
technologies for high efficiency conversion
of natural gas to useful products and
integration with solid oxide fuel cells
(SOFC). Excess heat from the SOFC is
used to heat the pyrolysis reactor resulting
in a theoretical total efficiency of >90% for
one of the operating modes.
