Ik this is kind of extreme. http://www.pnl.gov/main/publications/external/technical_reports/pnnl-18284.pdf

Above is a link to the process

So it has to go through "pre-treatment" (ground and dried), fast pyrolisis, hydrotreating, and then hydrocracking.

 

Can anyone give me insight into these stages and how one would do them without a factory? I may post updates on new things I find as I'm going to keep researching... I just know helpful people are usually on these forums.

If you could "do them without a factory," and on a budget, then it would be done already. But I'd like to see what updates you can find; you have discovered the key to civilization's global existential problem.

And if you want usable power, instead of just liquid fuel, then there are even more opportunities to discover new adaptations for pyrolysis.

I've got pictures of a 30-gal. trashcan-sized design, which burns in a manner similar to the above photo; so ask if you're interested.
