Abstract:
1. A method for producing synthetic hydrocarbons from at least one carbonaceous material, the method comprising: evaluating resources of the carbonaceous material available on a determined territory; determining from the resources a total production capacity of synthetic hydrocarbons; determining from the total production capacity, a number of elementary production units required for obtaining the total production capacity, each elementary production unit having an elementary production capacity comprised between a 100 and a 1,000 barrels a day of synthetic hydrocarbons; building the number of elementary production units on the territory, each elementary production unit including: transporting the carbonaceous material from the territory to the elementary production units; producing synthetic hydrocarbons in the elementary production units from the transported carbonaceous material, the electrolyzers of the elementary production units being supplied with electricit from an electricity distribution network serving at least one electricity consumer other than the elementary production units; evaluating the electric power available on the electricity distribution network; and withdrawing at least partly at least one elementary production unit from the electricity distribution network according to the available power.
