NOVELTY - An integrated method for producing fuel from biomass comprises gasifying feed comprising biomass fermentate separation residue in a gasification reactor to produce a mixture comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen; contacting the mixture with a hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst in a synthesis reactor to produce heat and a liquid transportation fuel component; and supplying portion(s) of the heat to biomass liquefaction, fermentation, fermentation product distillation, dehydrating agent regeneration, fermentate separation residue concentrating, or fermentate separation residue drying.    USE - Integrated method of producing fuel from biomass (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method produces fuel from biomass that avoids undesirable elevation in greenhouse gas emissions. It also increases energy security by providing a viable alternative to fossil fuels.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An integrated method for producing fuel from biomass comprises gasifying feed comprising biomass fermentate separation residue in a gasification reactor to produce a mixture comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen; contacting the mixture with a hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst in a synthesis reactor to produce heat and an effluent comprising a liquid transportation fuel component; and supplying at least a portion of the heat to thermal process(es) comprising biomass liquefaction, fermentation, fermentation product distillation, dehydrating agent regeneration, fermentate separation residue concentrating, or fermentate separation residue drying. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for an integrated system for producing fuel from biomass, comprising a unit that provides a feed comprising biomass fermentate separation residue; a gasification reactor for gasifying feed to produce a mixture comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen; catalytic hydrocarbon synthesis zone that reacts the carbon monoxide and hydrogen mixture to produce heat and an effluent comprising a liquid transportation fuel component; and heat supply conduit(s) that supply portion(s) of the heat to thermal process(es) comprising biomass liquefaction, fermentation, fermentation product distillation, dehydrating agent regeneration, fermentate separation residue concentrating, or fermentate separation residue drying.
