Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating hydrocarbons and oxygenated hydrocarbons comprising: (a) performing an endothermic gasification reaction with a biomass reactant at a temperature less than or equal to about 750 K, to yield synthesis gas; (b) performing an exothermic synthesis gas utilization reaction or carbon-carbon bond-forming 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 hydrocarbons or oxygenated hydrocarbons, and heat; and (c) integrating the heat generated from the synthesis gas utilization reaction or carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction of step (b) with the endothermic gasification reaction of step (a).
