Patent ID: 7753972

Claim:
A portable apparatus for extracting low carbon petroleum and for generating low carbon electricity from biomass and water, comprising: a boiler adapted to boil the water to generate a high-pressure steam source; a biomass hopper having a source of biomass; a steam reformer adapted to react the biomass with the steam to generate a high-pressure gas comprising a majority of carbon dioxide gas and hydrogen gas; a methanol CO 2 separator adapted to separate at least a portion of the carbon dioxide gas from the high-pressure gas to generate a carbon dioxide-rich driver gas and a hydrogen-rich fuel gas; a gas turbine adapted to utilize a portion of the hydrogen-rich fuel gas to generate low carbon electricity; appropriate for injection into a petroleum reservoir to extract low carbon petroleum; and wherein the steam reformer, the methanol CO 2 separator, the gas turbine and the compressor are located on a portable chassis.
