System and method for preparing liquid fuels
First Claim
1. A method for preparing a liquid fuel, the method comprising:
- supplying a first controlled volume of hydrocarbon to a heated area positioned within a reaction chamber, wherein the reaction chamber has a housing and the housing further has at least one solar window;
supplying a second controlled volume of carbon dioxide to the heated area;
at least partially opening or closing the solar window in response to a status of the heated area;
forming carbon monoxide and hydrogen from the hydrocarbon and the carbon dioxide at the heated area;
transporting a third controlled volume of the carbon monoxide to a reactor positioned within the reaction chamber;
transporting a fourth controlled volume of the hydrogen to the reactor;
selectively supplying a fifth controlled volume of additional hydrogen to the reactor;
adjusting the controlled volumes to regulate a pressure in the reactor so as to achieve a predetermined object; and
forming the liquid fuel from the hydrogen and the carbon monoxide in the reactor according to the predetermined object.

Abstract
Techniques, methods and systems for preparation liquid fuels from hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide are disclosed. The present invention can transform hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide generated from organic feed stocks or other industrial emissions into renewable engineered liquid fuels and store them in a cost-efficient way. The method of the present invention includes: supplying hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide to a heated area of a reaction chamber in controlled volumes; forming carbon monoxide by the energy provided by the heated area; transporting carbon monoxide and hydrogen to an reactor in controlled volumes; supplying additional hydrogen to the reactor; regulating the pressure in the reactor by adjusting the controlled volumes in order to achieve a predetermined object; forming the liquid fuel in the reactor according to the predetermined object; and, storing the liquid fuel in a storage device.
