1. A method for controlling a fuel reformation reaction in a fuel reformation reactor, the method comprising:
controlling a first amount of a fuel injected into the fuel reformation reactor;
controlling a first amount of a steam that is injected into the fuel reformation reactor;
controlling an amount of an oxygen that is injected into the fuel reformation reactor;
controlling the temperature of the fuel reformation reactor;
entraining an amount of heat, a second amount of the steam and an amount of a carbon dioxide into a mixture comprising a second amount of the fuel in the fuel reformation reactor; and
igniting, in the fuel reformation reactor, a mixture created from the entraining that comprises the amount of heat, the second amount of the steam, the amount of the carbon dioxide, and the second amount of the fuel,
wherein the fuel comprises a hydrocarbon fuel and
wherein the fuel reformation reaction is a non-catalytic reaction.
