NOVELTY - Producing syngas involves maintaining a reaction chamber at 400-5000 degrees C and at a pressure of greater than or equal to one bar; providing a carbonaceous material in the reaction chamber; introducing a gaseous stream containing carbon dioxide to the reactor; reacting the carbon dioxide and reactants in the gaseous stream to form a syngas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen; and providing the gas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen to a water-gas shift reactor to adjust the carbon monoxide and hydrogen molar ratio to 0.2-5 molecules of carbon monoxide and 5-0.2 molecule of hydrogen.    USE - For producing syngas useful to produce ethanol (claimed) from gaseous exhaust stream from power plants and other types of industrial plants such as cement plants, particularly the syngas formed is used in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor to produce ethanol or in a bio-catalytic synthesis reactor and in the production of energy such as liquid fuels; and to provide the necessary power (e.g. electricity, steam and/or heat).    ADVANTAGE - The method provides syngas, (easily convertible to ethanol) from gaseous streams exhausted by industrial plants which offers many advantages in cost, as well as, an overall reduction in the carbon dioxide dumped into the atmosphere. This reaction does not produce carbon dioxide. Therefore, from the start of the industrial gaseous stream containing 160000 lbs/hr of carbon dioxide to the discharge of the pyrolysis reactor, the reduction in emitted carbon dioxide is 75105 lbs/hr, or a reduction of about 53%. The water-gas shift adds about 19667 lbs/hr of carbon dioxide for a total of 94862 lbs/hr of carbon dioxide rather than the original 160000 lbs/hr for about a total 40% reduction.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Producing syngas involves maintaining a reaction chamber at 400-5000 degrees C and at a pressure of greater than or equal to one bar; providing a carbonaceous material in the reaction chamber; introducing a gaseous stream containing carbon dioxide (CO2) to the reactor; reacting the carbon dioxide (CO2) and reactants in the gaseous stream to form a syngas comprising carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2); and providing the gas comprising carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2) to a water-gas shift reactor to adjust the carbon monoxide and hydrogen molar ration to 0.2-5 molecules of carbon monoxide (CO) and 5-0.2 molecule of hydrogen (H2).
