1. A hybrid refinery comprising: a) a conventional refinery operable for refining petroleum, wherein the conventional refinery comprises elements used in the conventional processing of petroleum;b) a subsystem for converting biomass into a feed for the conventional refinery, wherein the subsystem comprisesi) a pyrolysis unit configured to produce pyrolysis oil from biomass comprising between 20 and 30 weight percent water;ii) an assembly for merging a stream of pyrolysis oil produced with the pyrolysis unit and a stream of refinery residual to form a hybrid feedstock;iii) a gasifier for gasifying the hybrid feedstock within the gasifier to form syngas; andiv) a syngas processing unit for processing the syngas to form a syngas-derived product, wherein at least some of the syngas-derived product is utilized in the conventional refinery;wherein said subsystem is integrated with one or more aspects of the conventional refinery and wherein the refinery is configured to at least partially replace feed steam for the gasifier with water from the biomass. 2. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the streams are combined before entering the gasifier. 3. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the streams are combined in the gasifier. 4. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the refinery residual stream comprises asphaltenes or coker coke. 5. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the gasifier is selected from the group consisting of a partial oxidation gasifier, a steam reformer, an autothermal reformer and combinations thereof. 6. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the syngas processing unit for processing the syngas comprises a method selected from the group consisting of water-gas shift, Fischer Tropsch, isosynthesis, oxygenate-generating processes, and combinations thereof. 7. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the syngas processing unit for processing the syngas involves a high-pressure process. 8. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the syngas-derived product is selected from the group consisting of H2, syncrude, hydrocarbons, oxygenates. 9. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the syngas-derived product is selected from the group consisting of alcohols, ether, and combinations thereof. 10. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the syngas-derived product is selected from the group consisting of gasoline, diesel, and combinations thereof. 11. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein at least some of the syngas-derived product is utilized in one or more conventional refinery processes. 12. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the syngas-derived product comprises H2, and wherein the H2 is used in subsequent hydroprocessing. 13. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the syngas-derived product comprises steam, and wherein the steam is used in gasification. 14. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein at least some of the syngas-derived product is used for generating electrical power within the refinery. 15. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein at least some of the syngas-derived product is used for generating electrical power external to the refinery. 16. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein the syngas-derived product comprises an alcohol selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, and combinations thereof. 17. The hybrid refinery of claim 1, wherein at least some processes of the conventional refinery and the subsystem for converting biomass are interdependent. 18. The hybrid refinery of claim 17, wherein the interdependency fosters a feedstock supply-tolerant system. 19. A system for converting biomass into a feed for a conventional refinery, wherein the system comprises: i) a pyrolysis unit configured to produce pyrolysis oil from biomass comprising between 20 and 30 weight percent water;ii) an assembly for merging a stream of pyrolysis oil produced with the pyrolysis unit and a stream of refinery residual to form a hybrid feedstock wherein the hybrid feedstock comprises from about 5 to about 90 weight percent pyrolysis oil;iii) a gasifier for gasifying the hybrid feedstock within the gasifier to form syngas; andiv) a syngas processing unit for processing the syngas to form a syngas-derived product,wherein at least some of the syngas-derived product is utilizable in a conventional refinery and wherein the system is configured to at least partially replace feed steam for the gasifier with water from the biomass. 20. A system for converting biomass into syngas, wherein the system comprises: i) a pyrolysis unit configured to produce pyrolysis oil from biomass comprising between 20 and 30 weight percent water;ii) an assembly for merging a stream of pyrolysis oil produced with the pyrolysis unit and a stream of refinery residual to form a hybrid feedstock wherein the hybrid feedstock consists essentially of from about 5 to about 90 weight percent pyrolysis oil and refinery residual; andiii) a gasifier for gasifying the hybrid feedstock within the gasifier to form syngas and wherein the system is configured to at least partially replace feed steam for the gasifier with water from the biomass. 21. The system of claim 20, wherein the system is configured to fully replace feed steam for the gasifier with water from the biomass.
