Claim 12:
13. A system for reforming of a hydrocarbon feed stream comprising a hydrocarbon gas and steam, said system comprising:
a synthesis gas generation reactor, optionally comprising a first catalyst, and arranged to generate a first synthesis gas from said hydrocarbon feed stream,
a post converter housing a second catalyst active for steam reforming, methanation and reverse water gas shift reactions, wherein the system is configured for the steam reforming, methanation and reverse water gas shift reactions to run towards equilibrium in the post-converter,
a conduit for conducting the first synthesis gas to said post converter,
means for adding a heated CO2 rich stream to the first synthesis gas upstream of said post converter and/or for adding a heated CO2 rich stream directly into said post converter,
wherein said system comprises an electrical power source arranged for heating said second catalyst electrically.
