Abstract:
1. A method for generating a fuel or fuel blending product, comprising: providing a feed comprising algae-derived biomass from an algae growth environment; recovering a fuel or fuel blending product and a residual product from the algae-derived biomass; performing a gasification process on at least a portion of the residual product, the gasification process resulting in at least a gas phase output stream and a gasification residue stream, the gas phase output stream comprising H purifying the gas phase output stream by removing at least a portion of one or more contaminant compounds different from H converting at least a portion of the purified gas phase output stream into one or more organic molecules, wherein conversion of at least a portion of the purified gas phase output stream into one or more organic molecules results in production of oxygenates, at least a portion of the oxygenates being used as a reagent in the recovering of a fuel or fuel blending product.
