NOVELTY - Process for generating steam and many gaseous products from a carbonaceous feedstock and recovering carbon dioxide, comprises: (a) supplying a first carbonaceous feedstock to a reactor (100); (b) combusting first carbonaceous feedstock in the reactor; (c) utilizing heat energy to form steam; (d) introducing the steam, first gas stream, a second carbonaceous feedstock and alkali metal gasification catalyst to a gasifier (200); (e) reacting the feedstock in the gasifier in the presence of the steam and the catalyst; (d) separating gaseous products; and (e) recovering third and fourth gas stream    USE - The process is useful for generating steam and many gaseous products from a carbonaceous feedstock and recovering carbon dioxide.    ADVANTAGE - The process provides synthetic natural gas which more efficiently utilizes fuel sources, including those utilized for generating steam, while decreasing the carbon footprint of the overall process.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Process for generating steam and many gaseous products from a carbonaceous feedstock and recovering carbon dioxide, comprises: (a) supplying a first carbonaceous feedstock to a reactor (100), where the reactor is in communication with a gasifier; (b) at least partially combusting first carbonaceous feedstock in the reactor to generate heat energy and a first gas stream comprising carbon dioxide; (c) utilizing the heat energy to generate steam; (d) introducing at least a portion of the steam, the first gas stream, a second carbonaceous feedstock and an alkali metal gasification catalyst to a gasifier (200); (e) reacting the second carbonaceous feedstock in the gasifier in the presence of the steam and the alkali metal gasification catalyst under suitable temperature and pressure to form a second gas stream comprising gaseous products comprising methane, carbon dioxide and at least one or more of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and other higher hydrocarbons; (d) at least partially separating the gaseous products to produce a third gas stream comprising carbon dioxide and a fourth gas stream comprising a predominant amount of one of the gaseous products other than carbon dioxide; (e) recovering the third gas stream; and (f) recovering the fourth gas stream, where the third gas stream includes carbon dioxide formed in steps (b) and (e).
