Classification: CPC C  B  Y | IPC B  C

Claim 16:
17. A system comprising:
a production line augmented with an electrolyzer comprising an electrolyte, wherein: (i) the production line is a hydrogen production line; (ii) the production line includes a reforming process; (iii) the reforming process is configured to be supplied with a volume of carbon dioxide and a volume of natural gas; and (iv) the electrolyte of the electrolyzer is a concentrated alkaline solution;
a separation system configured to separate a volume of carbon monoxide from the production line, after the reforming process; and
a cathode area of the electrolyzer configured to be supplied with the volume of carbon monoxide, after separating the volume of carbon monoxide using the separation system;
wherein: (i) the electrolyzer is configured to generate a volume of useful chemicals using the volume of carbon monoxide; (ii) the volume of generated chemicals is at least one of: a volume of hydrocarbons, a volume of organic acids, a volume of alcohol, a volume of olefins and a volume of N-rich organic compounds; (iii) the separation system separates out the volume of carbon monoxide from carbon dioxide and other impurities before the volume of carbon monoxide is supplied to the cathode area of the electrolyzer.
