TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOLOGY - Preferred Method: The hydroprocessing conditions include subjecting the biomass to elevated temperatures and pressures in the presence of a solvent and a molybdenum containing catalyst. The method further involves adding diazotrophic microorganisms to the algae for inclusion in the biofertilizer; removing inorganics from the biomass feed prior to the direct liquefaction or from the hydrocarbon liquids by absorbing the inorganics in biochar; using biochar in the PBR as nucleation sites for the algae production; using byproduct ammonia from step b) as a feed in step d). The biochar incorporated in the biofertilizer contains the absorbed inorganics. The structured biochar has an average pore size of 20-400 Angstrom . The biochar incorporated in the biofertilizer includes biochar having an average pore size of 100-400 Angstrom for use as a moisture retention agent. The concentration of biochar in the biofertilizer is 10-50 wt.%. Preferred Biofertilizer: The ratio of algae to diazotrophic microorganisms is selected to be substantially optimized for use with the soil composition and environmental conditions in the location where it is to be applied. The algae is obtained from the surface of the soil to which the biofertilizer is to be applied. The biofertilizer further includes at least one additional microorganism selected from free-living nitrogen-fixing heterotropic bacteria, actinomycetes, photosynthetic bacteria, mycorrhizal and/or lichenizing fungi; at least one xeroprotectant additive selected from sorbitol, mannitol, sucrose, sorbitan monostereate, dimethyl sulfoxide, methanol, beta -carotene, and beta -mercaptoethanol for increasing post drying viability; and rhizobacteria. The biofertilizer has been placed into a dormant state by a technique selected from spray drying, refractance-window drying, solar drying, air drying, or freeze drying. The biofertilizer includes an additive selected from fibrous, cellulosic mulch material, polymeric tackifiers and/or clays, geotextiles. At least a portion of the structured biochar has an average pore size of 20-400 Angstrom and further including absorbed nutrients in the portion of the biochar. At least a portion of the structured biochar has an average pore size of 100-400 Angstrom and further including absorbed water in the portion of the biochar. Preferred Component: The algae includes cyanobacteria. The nitrogen-fixing heterotropic bacteria are selected from the Azobacteriaceae or Frankiaceae groups comprising Azotobacter, Frankia, or Arthrobacter. The photosynthetic bacteria are selected from Rhodospirillales group comprising Rhodospirillium, Rhodopseudomonas, and Rhodobacter. The mycorrhizal fungi belong to the Glomales, and the lichenizing fungi belonging to the groups including at least one of Collema, Peltigera, Psora, Heppia, and Fulgensia.
