Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A chemically-modified mixed fuel includes methane gas from at least two methane-production sources and can be utilized in any process that incorporates a Kellogg Primary Reformer. A method for producing the chemically-modified mixed fuel described herein includes providing a first methane-containing gas from a first methane-production source, providing a second methane-containing gas from a second methane-production source and blending the first methane-containing gas with the second methane-containing gas at a suitable pressure to form a chemically-modified mixed fuel. In some cases, at least one additional methane-containing gas can be provided from at least one additional methane-production source and blended with the chemically-modified fuel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A chemically-modified mixed fuel, wherein the fuel comprises methane gas from at least one fossil source, at least one biogenic source, and at least one abiogenic source. 2. The chemically-modified fuel of claim 1 , wherein the biogenic source comprises landfill gas. 3. The chemically-modified fuel of claim 1 , wherein the percentage of methane in each of the at least one fossil methane-production source and at least…
