Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating C 2 to C 36 linear or branched hydrocarbons or oxygenated hydrocarbons comprising: (a) performing an endothermic gasification reaction with a reactant stream comprising compounds selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides, monosaccharides, polyols, and combinations thereof, at a temperature less than or equal to about 625 K, to yield synthesis gas; (b) performing an exothermic Fischer-Tropsch reaction with the synthesis gas of step (a) at a temperature greater than or equal to the temperature of the gasification reaction performed in step (a), wherein the reaction produces C (c) integrating the heat generated from the Fischer-Tropsch reaction of step (b) with the endothermic gasification reaction of step (a).
