Process and system for producing product

Abstract

A process and/or system for producing product that includes providing biogas, removing carbon dioxide from the biogas, transporting the upgraded biogas, providing the transported upgraded biogas and fossil-based gas for methane reforming. The methane reforming produces syngas that contains hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The product has lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduced at least in part, by at least some of the carbon dioxide from the syngas and at least some of the carbon dioxide from the biogas being captured and stored.
