Abstract: Coal based polygeneration, a technology that couples power generation and chemical production, is a promising solution to the challenges of fossil fuel depletion and greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon monoxide shift process is a key unit in polygeneration, which adjusts hydrogen and CO ratio according to the requirements of downstream processes. Usually steam is added to shift the gas composition extensively, which contributes considerably to the energy efficiency penalty.
