1. A method for converting biomass to renewable fuels, comprising: providing a device containing a programmable number of processing stations (N) and a series of catalysts;subjecting biomass within the stations to at least one programmable starting temperature (Tstart);incrementing an individual processing station temperature by programmable increments (ΔT) to produce a volatile and a non-volatile component;subjecting the volatile components generated in each station directly without quenching through the series of catalysts to produce at least one renewable fuel; andcontacting the volatile component from a lipid-rich biomass directly without quenching with a dehydration catalyst to produce a first product which on cooling to a temperature range of 1-20° C. produces a second volatile component, a first renewable fuel and water. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of contacting the second volatile component directly without quenching with an aromatization catalyst to produce a second product which on cooling to a temperature of 1-20° C. produces a third volatile component, a second renewable fuel and water, and recovering, the second renewable fuel. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising the steps of contacting the third volatile compound with a gas-upgrading catalyst to produce a third product which on cooling to a temperature of 1-20° C. produces a fourth volatile component, a third renewable fuel and water, and recovering the third renewable fuel. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of subjecting the fourth volatile component to at least one of the group consisting of: other processing stations, a dehydration catalyst, an aromatization catalyst a gas-upgrading catalyst, and a combustion gas treatment plant. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of contacting a volatile component from a hemicellulose-rich biomass directly without quenching with an aromatization catalyst to produce a fourth product which on cooling to a temperature of 0-5° C. produces a fifth volatile component, a fourth renewable fuel and water, and recovering the fourth renewable fuel. 6. The method of claim 5, father comprising the steps of contacting the fifth volatile component with a gas-upgrading catalyst to produce an fifth product which on cooling to a temperature of 0-5° C. produces a sixth volatile component, a fifth renewable fuel and water, and recovering the fifth renewable fuel. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of routing the sixth volatile component to at least one of the group consisting of: other processing stations, a dehydration catalyst, an aromatization catalyst, a gas-upgrading catalyst, or is combustion gas treatment plant. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of contacting a volatile component from a lignin-rich biomass directly without quenching with a dehydration catalyst to produce a sixth product which on cooling to 2-20° C. produces a seventh volatile component, a sixth renewable fuel and water. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising the steps of contacting the seventh volatile component directly without quenching with an aromatization catalyst to produce a seventh product which on cooling to a temperature of 0-5° C. produces an eighth volatile component, a seventh renewable furl and water, and recovering the seventh renewable fuel. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising the steps of contacting the eighth volatile component with a gas-upgrading catalyst to produce an eighth product which on cooling to a temperature of 0-5° C. produces a ninth volatile component, an eight renewable fuel and water, and recovering the eighth renewable fuel. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising the step of subjecting the ninth volatile component to at least one of the group consisting of: other processing stations, a dehydration catalyst, an aromatization catalyst, a gas-upgrading catalyst, and a combustion gas treatment plant.
