Abstract
A system for producing liquid fuel including a hydrocarbon source, a fuel cell unit configured to output anode exhaust gas containing a predetermined amount of C02, and a reformer configured to receive a first hydrocarbon feed portion from the hydrocarbon source and the anode exhaust gas from the fuel cell unit, such that the reformer is configured to output a syngas having a first H2/CO ratio of at most 2:1.
