Systems and methods for supplying hydrogen to a hydrocatalytic reaction of a biomass feedstock by gasification of a biomass material. In a preferred embodiment, the biomass material comprises hog fuel. In one embodiment, an overhead fraction of the hydrocatalytic reaction is further processed to generate higher molecular weight compounds, which can be used to produce a fuel product. In one embodiment, the biomass material comprises an outer bark layer of wood logs used as part of the biomass feedstock subject to the hydrocatalytic reaction. |
