Abstract

Integrated process for providing multiple raw materials to a downstream operation to generate an article of manufacture. Pyrolysis, torrefaction, reforming, partial oxidation, and/or gasification is integrated with gas fermentation. Integrated process converts carbon sources that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere or discarded as waste to a fermentation product and one or more byproducts, which in turn are provided to a downstream operation to generate an article of manufacture. In certain aspects, the fermentation product may be ethanol, isoprene, butane diol, ethylene. In certain aspects, the byproduct may be metal, metal oxide, char, silica, and or steel. The downstream operation to generate an article of manufacture may be an operation to generate plastic products, rubber products, textiles, clothes, and the like.
