1. A waste reformation system comprising:
a synthesis reactor for producing a first stream of synthesized gas;
a waste reforming conversion system for receiving at least organic waste and for producing a second stream of synthesized gas, the waste reforming conversion system including a rotatable outer wall including a helical spiral flight affixed to an interior of the outer wall and a non-rotatable reactor containing a steam reformer, the non-rotatable reactor located within the rotatable outer wall; and
a heat engine in fluid communication with the waste reforming conversion system, wherein gases from the heat engine are supplied to the waste reforming conversion system;
wherein the synthesis reactor is in fluid communication with the waste reforming conversion system such that a first portion of the first stream is mixed with the organic waste prior to the organic waste being received by the waste reforming conversion system; and
wherein the waste reforming conversion system is in fluid communication with the synthesis reactor such that the second stream is used for producing the first stream.
