Abstract:
1. A method for making negative carbon fuel, comprising: providing a device containing (i) a programmable number of processing stations (N) and a series of catalysts, and (ii) a processing station for subjecting biomass to at least one programmable starting temperature (Tstart) and for incrementing the temperature by programmable increments (ΔT) to produce a volatile and non-volatile component; using the device to concurrently convert a carbon-containing biomass to: (a) combustible fuels, refinery feedstock or chemicals; and (b) sequesterable carbon; wherein the combustible fuels, refinery feedstock or chemicals arise in substantially separate and uncontaminated form from the sequesterable carbon.
