Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A process for converting cellulosic biomass to fuel includes loading bales of cellulosic biomass into an enclosure, at least partially filling the enclosure with an aqueous liquid, wherein the aqueous liquid is filled to a level selected to at least partially submerge the bales of cellulosic biomass once loaded into the enclosure, and subjecting the bales loaded within the enclosure to an anaerobic digestion to produce biogas. The biogas, which contains methane, is provided as a fuel, is upgraded to provide a fuel. The biogas or upgraded biogas can be used to produce a fuel, chemical, or product. A process for converting biomass to fuel includes subjecting cellulosic biomass to anaerobic digestion, and feeding at least a portion of the digestate to hydrothermal liquefaction to produce bio-oil.
