Abstract
The present invention relates to a process and an integrated plant to be used in the process for the preparation of synthetic fuel (synfuel) and production of electrical energy. A part of the energy produced is used for the operation of the energy requiring steps of the process, whereas the residual part is exported for other purposes. The warm exhaust gas from the part of the plant producing electrical energy is fed to a preheating step for natural gas being used as a starting material for the preparation of synfuel.
