This project contributes to a novel concept that utilizes three innovative Canadian technologies. When combined together in one process, these technologies will provide 100% renewable jet, diesel, naphtha, and ethanol fuels from com and a variety of non-food-grade feedstocks. Besides the renewable nature of the fuel products from the proposed process due to the type of feedstocks to be utilized, the proposed process relies on carbon dioxide as one of the main feedstocks for the gas-to-liquid conversion step of the process, significantly improving the carbon foot-print and economics of the fuel products. To achieve 100% C02 utilization, conventional steam reformers cannot be used any more. Instead, production of syngas has to be performed in a nearly dry environment in what is recently referred to as "dry reforming". The performance of a dry reformer is
