The invention relates to a method for preparing synthesis gas, and the method comprises the following steps: carrying out first heating on a
hydrogen production
raw material, and sequentially feeding the
hydrogen production
raw material into a hydrogenation reactor and a
hydrodesulfurization reactor to obtain a desulfurized
hydrogen production
raw material; and mixing the desulfurized
hydrogen production raw material,
water vapor and a
carbon dioxide raw material, carrying out second heating to obtain a mixed raw material, feeding the mixed raw material into a
radiation unit of a
hydrogen production converter, carrying out a
catalytic reforming reaction with a reforming catalyst to obtain a reformed crude synthesis gas, and carrying out heat exchange on the reformed crude synthesis gas and part of the
carbon dioxide raw material. According to the invention, the reaction for preparing the synthesis gas by reforming is carried out in the
hydrogen production reformer, and the problems of easy
carbon deposition and short operation period of the reforming reaction in industrial production are solved by utilizing a high-temperature and water-vapor-containing environment in the hydrogen production reformer; the prepared high-temperature reformed crude synthesis gas exchanges heat with a
carbon dioxide raw material, the feeding temperature is increased, the energy utilization efficiency of the hydrogen production reformer is improved, meanwhile, carbon dioxide is recycled, and near-
zero emission of carbon dioxide is achieved.
