Natural gas liquefaction process in combination with a synthesis gas production process, where the steam derived from the synthesis gas production process is used as a heating source for the implementation of the pre-treatment step for eliminating the impurities liable to freeze during the natural gas liquefaction process.

The invention concerns a process for producing carbon monoxide (CO) from a feed stream comprising carbon dioxide (CO2) and natural gas and/or naphtha the process comprising a syngas generation step, a CO2 removal step and a CO purification step and the process further comprises an SOEC unit which produces CO from a CO2 stream, the process is especially suited for increasing the capacity of existing known CO production plants.

A method of natural gas treatment including introducing a natural gas containing stream into a dryer unit, thereby producing a treated natural gas containing stream. Introducing the treated natural gas containing stream into a nitrogen rejection unit, thereby producing a further treated natural gas stream as a nitrogen rejection unit product. Splitting the nitrogen rejection unit product into at least two portions, introducing the first portion of the further treated natural gas stream into a reformer unit as first part of feed, and introducing a second portion of the further treated natural gas stream into the dryer unit as a regeneration stream, thereby producing a regeneration waste stream. Introducing at least a portion of the regeneration waste stream into the reformer unit as second part of feed.

A method for providing a fuel includes providing a partially purified biogas at a first processing site, where the partially purified biogas is produced by multiple biogas sources and/or from multiple feedstock sources. The partially purified biogas is compressed, fed to a mobile tank, and transported by vehicle to a second processing site. At the second processing site, which may also receive biogas from a plurality of biogas sources, the partially purified biogas is further processed to produce a fuel or fuel intermediate.

Provided are a semiconductor material based on metal nanowires and a porous nitride, and a preparation method thereof. The semiconductor material includes: a substrate; a buffer layer formed on the substrate; and a composite material layer formed on the buffer layer the composite material layer includes: a transverse porous nitride template layer; and a plurality of metal nanowires filled in pores of the transverse porous nitride template layer.

A plant, such as a hydrocarbon plant, is provided, which consists of a syngas stage for syngas generation and a synthesis stage where said syngas is synthesized to produce syngas derived product, such as hydrocarbon product. The plant makes effective use of various streams; in particular CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2. A method for producing a product stream, such as a hydrocarbon product stream is also provided.

A method for providing a fuel includes removing hydrogen sulfide and/or carbon dioxide from biogas to provide partially purified biogas, which is filled in a mobile storage system. The partially purified biogas is transported to a centralized processing facility, in the mobile storage system, by truck, rail, or ship. At the centralized processing the partially purified biogas is further processed, either to produce a fuel that is renewable or has renewable content, or to produce renewable natural gas, which is used to produce the fuel that is renewable or has renewable content.

A process for producing an ammonia synthesis gas, said process comprising the steps of: —Reforming a hydrocarbon feed in a reforming step thereby obtaining a synthesis gas comprising CH.sub.4, CO, CO.sub.2, H.sub.2 and H.sub.2O, —Shifting the synthesis gas in one in or more shift steps in series, —Optionally wash the synthesis gas leaving the shift section with water, —Sending the process condensate originating from cooling and washing the synthesis gas leaving the shift section to a process condensate stripper wherein the dissolved shift byproducts and dissolved gases are stripped out of the process condensate using steam resulting in a steam stream containing more than 99% of the dissolved methanol in process condensate. —Adding all or part of said steam stream from the process condensate stripper to the synthesis gas downstream the reforming step, prior to the last shift step, wherein —The steam/carbon ratio in the reforming step and the shift step is less than 2.6.
