Claim 0:
1. A method for converting a biomass into a biofuel comprising:
receiving, at a biomass processing station, the biomass from a biomass harvester;
transporting the biomass from the biomass processing station to a hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) converter via a conduit, the HTL converter being located remotely from the biomass processing station and within proximity to a geothermal heat source, wherein a portion of the conduit is located below the surface of an ocean;
transferring thermal energy from the geothermal heat source to the biomass to convert the biomass into a processed biomass, wherein the geothermal heat source is located below the surface of the ocean;
monitoring, via one or more sensors at one or more locations along the conduit, one or more conditions of the biomass at the one or more locations along the conduit;
adjusting operations of one or more components along the conduit to adjust the one or more conditions of the biomass at the one or more locations along the conduit; and
receiving, at the biomass processing station, the processed biomass from the HTL converter via the conduit.
