Abstract: The invention relates to a modular plant (1), in particular a modular industrial plant, comprising a plurality of cuboid-shaped plant modules (20, 40, 40a, 40c), which are arranged in two or more layers stacked one above the other. The modules have a support structure having fastening points (24, 24?, 44, 44?), wherein the fastening points are provided for connecting a module to corresponding fastening points of the adjacent modules of a layer located above and/or below thereof. In the horizontal plane, the modules of a layer are connected to the adjacent modules of the layer located above and/or below thereof in a form-fit manner by means of a connection element (64) having the shape of a double cone or of a double conical frustum.

Abstract: A process for the generation of energy and/or hydrocarbons and other products utilizing carbonaceous materials. In a first process stage (P1) the carbonaceous materials are supplied and are pyrolysed, wherein pyrolysis coke (M21) and pyrolysis gas (M22) are formed. In a second process stage (P2), the pyrolysis coke (M21) from the first process stage (P1) is gasified, wherein synthesis gas (M24) is formed, and slag and other residues (M91, M92, M93, M94) are removed. In a third process stage (P3), the synthesis gas (M24) from the second process stage (P2) is converted into hydrocarbons and/or other solid, liquid, and/or gaseous products (M60), which are discharged. The three process stages (P1, P2, P3) form a closed cycle. Surplus gas (M25) from the third process stage (P3) is passed as recycle gas into the first process stage (P1), and/or the second process stage (P2), and pyrolysis gas (M22) from the first process stage (P1) is passed into the second process stage (P2), and/or the third process stage (P3).

Abstract: The invention relates to an energy supply system (2) having a first energy supply network (4) including a power network (36) for transporting electrical energy (46), and a second energy supply network (6) having a transport system (60) for fluid operating materials (56), said energy supply system comprising at least one energy-generating unit (8), and through electrical energy and carbon-containing material (50, 54, 58) the fluid operating materials are produced and fed into the second energy supply network, and further comprising at least one local energy management unit (10), by means of which fluid operating materials extracted from the second energy supply network can be converted into electrical energy (74, 76, 78) and can be fed into a local power network (90).

Abstract: A device (1) for performing mechanical work and/or producing electrical or thermal energy, the energy necessary for operation is obtained from the oxidation of carbonaceous fuels (20) into carbon dioxide (24) and water (23). The device comprises means (14) for compression and/or condensation of the exhaust gas (21), and storage means (15) for receiving the compressed and/or condensed exhaust gas (21).
