Efficiency jumps significantly when you can use all of your natural gas as feedstock, rather than tapping a portion of it to fuel the process.<br /><br />More <a href="http://alfin2300.blogspot.com/2011/08/process-heat-from-gas-cooled-nuclear.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> . . . and <a href="http://alfin2300.blogspot.com/search/label/nuclear%20process%20heat" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />The links in the first article look at nuclear process heat powered conversion of gas, coal, kerogens, bitumens, biomass, and more. The second link looks at a broader range of applications for nuclear heat.<br /><br />France may lead the way in this regard, since Areva already has a high temperature gas cooled design which could be developed for these purposes, if the political and economic roadblocks could be leveled. <br /><br />The Persian Gulf countries might also take the lead. An alliance between a gas-rich Gulf kingdom and France for accelerated development of efficient gas to chemicals and fuels might be ideal.<br /><br />al finhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739269791915017382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24847368.post-89809007972683479842012-08-27T05:45:47.079-07:002012-08-27T05:45:47.079-07:00Just a question about the technology of gaz to fue...Just a question about the technology of gaz to fuel as you present it.<br /><br />The basic assumption is that the heat came from the gaz, but if you decise to use another heat source, like a (clean and cheap) nuclear reactor (let's assume low hypothesis of 500C and highest hypothesis of 1000C), will the reaction be much more efficient in term of gaz consumption ?<br /><br />Maybe can you also quickly answer for other carboned fuels, like coal, tars, biofuel, and pyrolized trashs.<br /><br />Alain_Cohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352476615242858677noreply@blogger.com
