The present invention relates to a high pressure process for Pre-Combustion and Post-Combustion CO.sub.2 capture (HP/MP/LP gasification) from a CO.sub.2 gas stream (CO2-Stream) by way of CO.sub.2 total subcritical condensation (CO2-CC), separation of liquid CO.sub.2, higher pressure elevation of obtained liquid CO.sub.2 via HP pump, superheating of CO.sub.2 up to high temperature for driving of a set of CO.sub.2 expander turbines for additional power generation (CO2-PG), EOR or sequestration (First new Thermodynamic Cycle). The obtained liquid CO.sub.2 above, will be pressurized at a higher pressure and blended with HP water obtaining high concentrated electrolyte, that is fed into HP low temperature electrochemical reactor (HPLTE-Syngas Generator) wherefrom the cathodic syngas and anodic oxygen will be performed. In particular the generated HP oxygen/syngas will be utilized for sequential combustion (“H.sub.2/O.sub.2-torches”) for super-efficient hydrogen based fossil power generation (Second new Thermodynamic Cycle).

The present invention depicts a method for one pot synthesis of dimethyl ether from syngas in a simple and economical manner. The process (500A, 500B, 600) has advantages of reducing the requirement of refrigeration and at the same time producing a ready to use product. The process (500A, 500B, 600) includes the steps of separating carbon dioxide from a first stream (512, 612) comprising syngas to produce a second stream (522, 622), reacting the second stream (522, 622) in the presence of a catalyst to produce a third stream (532, 632), cooling the third stream (532, 632) to a temperature in a range from 10° C. to 40° C. to produce a fourth stream (542, 642), and washing and conducting a phase separation of the fourth stream (542, 642) to produce a product comprising at least 10% by volume of dimethyl ether.
