    Abstract: A process and system for producing synthesis gas (syngas) by combining hydrogen and carbon monoxide from separate sources while controlling the mole ratio (H2/CO) of the syngas product. Hydrogen is produced by splitting water. Carbon monoxide is produced by reacting carbon dioxide (CO2), which has been captured from the exhaust of stationary combustion engines, with hydrogen via the Reverse Water Gas Shift. Hydrocarbon fuels are produced from this syngas via the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
