TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - CHEMICAL ENGINEERING - Preferred Method: The reject exit stream from the most inner and next inner annular zones is subject to a condensation step which removes steam from the reject exit stream, and subsequently passed through a membrane permeator where the hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases are separated by permeation via a polymer or composite membrane and the non permeated hydrocarbons, alcohols, and Carbon monoxide (CO) exit from the non-permeate side of the permeator as a reject stream. The reject stream from the permeator containing each one or a mixture of unreacted hydrocarbons, alcohols, and CO is fed in a consecutive steam reforming reaction zone for additional production of hydrogen and carbon dioxide gas products. The reject stream from the permeator containing each one or a mixture of unreacted hydrocarbons, alcohols, and CO is recycled into the initial catalytic most inner reforming zone for 5 continuous reforming reaction. A part of the separated liquefied hydrocarbons, alcohols, and CO2 components from the cryogenic separator are mixed with steam and fed into a subsequent reforming reaction zone for additional production of hydrogen (H) and CO. The reject exit stream consists of H, CO and unreacted steam and enters as a fuel gas feed into a solid oxide or molten carbonate fuel cell for continuous generation of electricity, where part or all of the permeate hydrogen coming out of the preceding membrane zone is fed as well in the fuel cell anode inlet providing for the supplementary hydrogen fuel feed. The flue hot gas emitted by the fuel cell is used for at least partial heating of the preceding most inner catalytic reaction zone. The reject exit stream rich in H and CO after steam condensation is used as fuel feed in a gas engine or g gas turbine for continuous generation of electricity, where part or all of the permeate hydrogen coming out of the preceding membrane zone is fed as well in the engine or turbine providing for the supplementary hydrogen fuel.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - METALLURGY - Preferred Material: The most inner membrane is made alumina, silica, titania, yttria, zirconia, and the next inner membrane made from one or more materials selected from the group consisting of aluminum carbide and nitride, silicon carbide and nitride, titanium carbide and nitride, zirconium carbide and nitride, tantalum carbide and nitride, palladium, silver, copper, zinc, tantalum, vanadium, and/or tungsten.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Material: The feed hydrocarbon or alcohol is methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, i-butane, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, naphtha, gasoline, natural gas, coal gas containing methane, landfill gas containing methane, flue gas containing methane, biomass and/or sewage gas containing methane. The combined feed hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide gas mixture is methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) mixture, acidic natural gas containing CH4 and CO2, coal gas containing CH4 and CO2 landfill gas containing CH4 and CO2, biomass and sewage gas containing CH4 and CO2, and/or flue and waste gas mixture containing CH4 and CO2.
