NOVELTY - Producing biofuel from a carbonaceous material comprises: combining a feedstock comprising a biomass material with a consumable catalyst to produce a feedstock/catalyst mixture; and subjecting the feedstock/catalyst mixture to a vacuum pyrolytic gasification and liquefaction process to produce at least one biofuel.    USE - The method is useful for producing biofuel from a carbonaceous material comprising a non-biomass material (which is fossiliferous material, plastic material or rubber material) containing at least one hydrocarbon species, where the biofuel is at least one liquid biofuel (light liquid fuel, medium weight liquid fuel or heavy liquid fuel), which is gasoline, diesel fuel or jet fuel, or is at least one gaseous biofuel comprising at least one of methane, ethane, ethylene and propylene, preferably commercial grade diesel fuel or gasoline (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method: is carried out in a portable apparatus; and produces a maximum daily biofuel output of at least 30300 gallons. The diesel fuel, gasoline and jet fuel are compatible for use in a diesel fuel product meeting the ASTM D975 standard, a gasoline fuel product meeting the ASTM D4814 standard and a jet fuel product meeting the ASTM D1655 standard respectively.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (1) a consumable catalyst (I) for use in producing one or more biofuels from a carbonaceous material, comprising kaolin (10-80 wt.%), zeolite (5-50 wt.%), amorphous silica (2-30 wt.%), alumina (0.0001-45 wt.%) and aluminum phosphate (0.001-5 wt.%); and    (2) a biofuel production system comprising: feedstock handling subsystem for handling the feedstock prior to mixing the feedstock with the consumable catalyst; a combining and mixing subsystem operable to combine and mix the feedstock with the consumable catalyst to produce the feedstock/catalyst mixture; a vacuum pyrolytic gasification subsystem operable to process the feedstock into a gaseous effluent comprising at least one hydrocarbon fraction; and a liquefaction subsystem operable to condense the gaseous effluent into at least one liquid and gaseous biofuel.
