1. An apparatus for processing input material, comprising:
a hydrogen torch reactor vessel defining a combustion zone;
the hydrogen torch reactor vessel having at least one input for a combustible torch fuel to at least one torch nozzle, the at least one torch nozzle being adapted to generate at least one non-plasma flame within said reactor;
the hydrogen torch reactor vessel further having at least one input port for receiving the input feedstock, the input feedstock being directed proximally to the at least one flame;
the hydrogen torch reactor vessel further having an output for discharging a primary reactor output stream;
at least one cooler coupled to receive the primary reactor output stream and operable to cool the primary reactor output stream and generate a secondary output stream;
a separator, coupled to receive the secondary output stream from the at least one cooler, the separator being operable to further extract at least one gas from the secondary output stream; and
a boiler and a superheater, the boiler and the superheater connected to the hydrogen torch reactor vessel via a steam input line, the steam input line connected to a steam input port to the hydrogen torch reactor vessel.
