In precombustion decarbonisation, the CO2 is captured before burning the fuel. The method has many parallels to the method of producing hydrogen which is a mature technology. Technology performances are given for gas-based and coal-based processes. The technology comprises three steps: - reforming/conversion of fossil fuel to a mixture containing hydrogen, CO2 and CO; - shifting this mixture to a mixture with CO2 and H2; - separation of CO2 and hydrogen. There are a few development options, like the IRCC (Integrated Reforming Combined Cycle).
