Claim:
1. A reduced CO 2 footprint gas and renewable feed to liquid hydrocarbons and chemicals, combined process comprising the steps of: a) converting natural gas to synthesis gas comprising H b) extracting a minor portion of the H c) converting the ratio adjusted synthesis gas to hydrocarbons in a Fischer Tropsch reaction; d) processing a renewable feed in a crushing plant to extract a renewable oil feed, where the renewable feed and the renewable oil feed are distinct from the natural gas, the synthesis gas, and the Fischer Tropsch hydrocarbons; e) thereafter upgrading the Fischer Tropsch hydrocarbons and the renewable oil feed with the extracted hydrogen of step b) in a hydroprocessor in a GTL plant to produce hydrocarbon products; f) recycling waste products from the hydroprocessing back to step a), to make additional synthesis gas; and g) using waste energy from step e) to supply at least part of the energy required in the crushing plant to process the renewable feed to extract the renewable oil in step d).
