Abstract

A method of facilitating the low cost, environmentally friendly generation of power or fuel using processing that produces an exhaust gas stream laden with carbon dioxide. In one aspect, the method involves using at least the carbon dioxide to generate biomass and a gaseous byproduct including oxygen, collecting the gaseous byproduct, and combusting a fuel in the presence of at least the oxygen from the gaseous byproduct. In another aspect, a method is provided for use in coal liquefaction using processing that produces an exhaust gas stream laden with carbon dioxide, including the step of using the carbon dioxide to generate biomass and a gaseous byproduct including oxygen. Related methods and systems are also disclosed.
