ABSTRACT:
The present invention is generally directed to processes that integrate CO2-producing conversions of hydrocarbonaceous assets with biofuels processes that utilize CO2in photosynthesis. In some embodiments, such processes involve the absorption of CO2in an absorption liquid. In some such embodiments, such absorption is carried out in an absorption tower. In some other such embodiments, there is a subsequent desorption of the CO2. Generally, at least some of the CO2captured by the absorption liquid is used to grow microbes or diatom species.
