Abstract
Disclosed is an integrated process for the generation of power, particularly electrical power, from a solid carbonaceous material. A solid carbonaceous material is gasified to produce a combustible synthesis gas. A first portion of this synthesis gas is contacted with Fischer-Tropsch and hydrogenation catalysts to produce normally liquid hydrocarbons and a second combustible gaseous stream. Portions of the two combustible gaseous streams are combined and combusted and utilized to generate a base-load power output and the liquid hydrocarbons are utilized as a fuel for a gas turbine to produce supplemental power for peak-load demand.
