Claim 9:
10. An installation to perform an endothermic steam reforming of hydrocarbons to produce synthesis gas according to claim 1, said installation comprising at least one fluidized bed reactor comprising:
at least two electrodes
(13); a reactor vessel (3);
one or more fluid nozzles (21, 23) for the introduction of a fluidizing gas and/or of a reaction stream within at least one fluidized bed reactor;
and
a bed (25) comprising particles;
the installation is characterized in that the particles of the bed (25) comprise electrically conductive particles and particles of a catalytic composition, wherein at least 10 wt. % of the particles based on the total weight of the particles of the bed (25) are electrically conductive particles, have a resistivity ranging from 0.001 Ohm·cm to 500 Ohm·cm at 800° C. wherein the electrically conductive particles are or comprise one or more particles selected from the group consisting of one or more non-metallic resistors, one or more metallic carbides, one or more transition metal nitrides, one or more metallic phosphides, one or more superionic conductors, one or more phosphate electrolytes, one or more mixed oxides being doped with one or more lower-valent cations, one or more mixed sulphides being doped with one or more lower-valent cations, and any mixture thereof.
