Abstract

The present invention is a method for the production of biofuel. The method includes providing a renewable, photosynthetically-produced biological material having at least one biofuel precursor and a cell-wall component. The photosynthetically-produced biological material is fractionated into at least two fractions, a first fraction enriched in the biofuel precursor and a second fraction enriched in the cell-wall component. The method includes the step of processing at least one of the second fraction and a product of its modification to generate thermal energy and further includes the step of processing at least one of said first fraction, a product if its modification, and a component of the first fraction to generate at least one biofuel. Processing of the first fraction includes at least one energy-consuming operation that consumes energy resulting from processing the second fraction.
