• territories are selected for the supply of carbonaceous material, for example the territories T1 to T5 in Figure 2.
• a facility for the production of synthetic hydrocarbon will be installed in each territory.
• These territories can be selected on the basis of the following criteria:
• the sources of carbonaceous materials are of two kinds:
• non-renewable carbon sources for example of the coal type, combustion fumes from blast furnaces or cement plants,
• renewable carbon sources for example of the type of vegetable waste, animal waste, the organic part of the sorted municipal waste etc.

• the site is chosen so that the average distance between the site and the sources of carbonaceous material is less than 100 km, preferably less than 50 km.
• the distance between the site and a given source of carbonaceous material can be calculated in many ways, including depending on the nature of the source. If the source is located, for example in the case of municipal waste from a waste sorting workshop, the distance chosen will correspond to the distance between the sorting workshop and the site. If the source is geographically extended, for example in the case of biomass produced in several fields spread over a certain area, one can for example consider the distance between the geographical center of said area and the site. Distances can be calculated in many other ways that will not be detailed here.

Similarly, the third stream of synthetic hydrocarbons 52, comprising for example the other hydrocarbons, is collected at the outlet of the post-treatment module 22 in a storage 62.
• the process is particularly adapted to territories of small areas. It makes it possible to place the synthetic hydrocarbon production site at a moderate distance from the sources of carbonaceous matter in the territory.
• the transport needed to transport the carbonaceous material to the synthetic hydrocarbon production facility is short distances, which limits the fuel consumption associated with this transport as well as CO 2 emissions.
• transport for distribution of the final product is also limited distances, which saves fuel and limits CO 2 emissions.
• the installation is designed to be able to fade at least partially vis-à-vis the electrical distribution network.
• This partial erasure is achieved by stopping one or more elementary production units.
• the erasure can also be achieved by using CO 2 conversion unit CO 2 , which makes it possible to produce hydrogen from carbon monoxide. This relieves the electrolyser, whose electricity consumption and hydrogen production can be reduced accordingly.
• This also facilitates the management of the electricity grid at the local level, by making local demand quasi-constant electric. This operational flexibility makes it possible to take advantage of attractive rates on electricity by adapting the production load of the installation according to the price of electricity.
