1. A method for making negative carbon fuel, comprising:

  • providing a device containing (i) a programmable number of processing stations (N) and a series of catalysts, and (ii) a processing station for subjecting biomass to at least one programmable starting temperature (Tstart) and for incrementing the temperature by programmable increments (Δ

    T) to produce a volatile and non-volatile component;

    using the device to concurrently convert a carbon-containing biomass to;

    (a) combustible fuels, refinery feedstock or chemicals; and

    (b) sequesterable carbon;

    wherein the combustible fuels, refinery feedstock or chemicals arise in substantially separate and uncontaminated form from the sequesterable carbon.
