An adjoining conversion system will allow it to produce electricity as needed and flexibly to compete with gas-fired power plants but also to supply heat directly to nearby energy-intensive industries. With electricity and heat, companies could capture CO 2 and produce steam, hydrogen, and synthetic fuels.
