Abstract

A process for the production of variable amounts of electric power from a syngas feedstock is disclosed. The process captures, stores and releases carbon monoxide by forming and dissociating a suitable organic molecule, i.e., an alkyl formate, and thereby exploits the natural stoichiometry of the coal conversion to greatest advantage.
