Abstract
A method and process is described for producing negative carbon fuel. In its broadest form, a carbon-containing input is converted to combustible fuels, refinery feedstock, or chemicals and a carbonaceous solid concurrently in separate and substantially uncontaminated form. In an embodiment of the invention, biomass is converted via discrete increasing temperatures under pressure to blendable combustible fuels and a carbonaceous solid. The carbonaceous solid may be reacted to synthesis gas, sold as charcoal product, carbon credits, used for carbon offsets, or sequestered.
Claims13
A method for making negative carbon fuel and sequesterable carbon from a carbon-containing input, comprising:
- concurrently converting a carbon-containing input to:
- (a) combustible fuels, refinery feedstock or chemicals;
- and (b) sequesterable carbon free of hydrophobic hydrocarbons;
- wherein the combustible fuels, refinery feedstock or chemicals arise in separate form from the sequesterable carbon.
