NOVELTY - The method comprises formatting a standardized biomass feedstock for subsequent refinement, and processing the standardized biomass feedstock to yield bio-based products. The standardized biomass feedstock comprises a terrestrial biomass feedstock, a high moisture content biomass feedstock, and a standardized mixture of constituent biomass feedstock components. The terrestrial biomass feedstock comprises an herbaceous biomass feedstock, a woody biomass feedstock, an agricultural food, an agricultural feed crop, an agricultural crop waste, an agricultural residue, and/or a wood waste.    USE - The method is useful for processing standardized biomass feedstocks to yield bio-based products, where the biomass feedstocks are useful in large-scale bio-refinement and for extracting and recovering lipids (all claimed), the bio-based products are useful as a substitute for fossil oil derivatives in: manufacture of product such as inter alia, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, food products, biofuels, synthetic oils, animal feed, bio-crude oil and fertilizers; and/or production of bio-energy.    ADVANTAGE - The method is capable of simply, efficiently and economically processing standardized biomass feedstocks with less energy consumption in an environmentally-friendly manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The method comprises formatting a standardized biomass feedstock for subsequent refinement, and processing the standardized biomass feedstock to yield bio-based products. The standardized biomass feedstock comprises a terrestrial biomass feedstock, a high moisture content biomass feedstock, and a standardized mixture of constituent biomass feedstock components. The terrestrial biomass feedstock comprises an herbaceous biomass feedstock, a woody biomass feedstock, an agricultural food, an agricultural feed crop, an agricultural crop waste, an agricultural residue, a wood waste, a wood residue, an aquatic plant, a vegetable oil, a livestock manure, a municipal waste, and/or an industrial waste. The high moisture content biomass feedstock comprises algae, beet pulp, and/or sludge. The mixture of constituent biomass feedstock components comprises a base feedstock combined with an algae feedstock, an herbaceous feedstock, a woody feedstock, an additive, an add mixture, a bacteria, a catalyst, a binder, a chemical coagulant, a chemical flocculant, moisture, inorganic components and/or water. The step of formatting the standardized biomass feedstock comprises combining constituent biomass feedstocks and processing the biomass feedstock such that biomass feedstock assumes a specified morphology comprising a liquid, a gas, a powder, a dust, a residue, a concentrate, a briquette, a pellet, a tablet, and a combustible. The step of processing the standardized biomass feedstock comprises anaerobic digestion, dry fractionation, solvent fractionation, fermentation, gasification, transesterification, hydrothermal upgrading, pyrolysis, torrefaction, catalytic hyrdotreating, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, hydroforming, enzyme hydrolysis, hydrocracking, and/or cofiring. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a method for standardizing biomass feedstocks for use in large-scale bio-refinement; and    (2) a method for extracting and recovering lipids from a biomass feedstock.
