Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
converting methane into hydrogen and carbon using a pyrolytic conversion unit where heating is provided by at least in part by electrical heating;
adding the hydrogen that is produced in the pyrolytic conversion unit to a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide that is produced by a synthesis gas generation unit that uses at least one of steam reforming or partial oxidation to produce the mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide from a hydrocarbon feedstock;
using the hydrogen that is pyrolytically produced to shift a balance of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen to that used in production of at least one liquid hydrocarbon from the hydrocarbon feedstock, wherein the at least one liquid hydrocarbon includes one or more of methanol, synthetic diesel, or aviation fuel; and
producing at least one liquid hydrocarbon from the mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide that is provided by the combination of hydrogen from the pyrolytic conversion unit with the mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide from the synthesis gas generation unit.
