A method is described for reducing the carbon footprint of any commercially important industrial conversion process. The output of this conversion process can be combustible fuels, chemicals, electricity or heat energy. In its broadest form, a carbon negative module outputs energy to a conversion energy and this energy replaces conventional fossil-fuel based energy. A sequesterable carbonaceous solid is produced by the carbon negative process which represents a net carbon withdrawal from the atmosphere.

1. A method for reducing the carbon footprint of a conversion process, comprising: (a) conducting an external carbon negative process having biomass as input and sequesterable carbon and one or both of renewable energy and renewable feedstock as outputs, andb) utilizing said renewable energy to at least partly power said conversion process and/or utilizing said renewable feedstock as input to said conversion process. 2. A method according to claim 1 in which the conversion process includes one or more of: electricity production, electrochemical reduction process, smelting, fossil fuel extraction, chemical refining, chemical conversion processes. 3. A method according to claim 1 in which the renewable energy is one or more selected from the group consisting of: heat, combustible biovapors, combustible fuels and electricity. 4. A method according to claim 1 in which electricity is produced by combustion of one or both of combustible biovapors or renewable fuels obtained as output from the carbon negative process. 5. A method according to claim 1 in which the renewable feedstock comprises one or more of light hydrocarbons, C1-C5 light gases, or C6-C20 hydrocarbons. 6. A method according to claim 1 in which the sequesterable carbon is greater than 50% fixed carbon. 7. A method according to claim 1 in which the carbon footprint reduction is greater than 1%. 8. A method according to claim 1 in which the carbon footprint reduction is greater than 10%. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the sequesterable carbon is sequestered by use as a soil amendment. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the sequesterable carbon is sequestered by underground storage. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the sequesterable carbon is sequestered by addition to soil containing compost material. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the sequesterable carbon is used for carbon offsets. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the sequesterable carbon is used for carbon credits. 14. A method according to claim 1 in which at least some of the sequesterable carbon is reacted with oxygen, carbon dioxide, methane or steam to generate synthesis gas, which displaces fossil carbon. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the synthesis gas is converted to combustible fuels, refinery stock or chemicals. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein at least one of the combustible fuels, refinery stock or chemicals is certified as carbon negative. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the output of a plurality of carbon negative processes serve as input to the conversion process. 18. The method of claim 1 in which the carbon negative process causes the conversion process to qualify for RINs. 19. A system for reducing the carbon footprint of a conversion process, comprising: (a) an external carbon negative system having biomass as input and sequesterable carbon and one or both of renewable energy and renewable feedstock as outputs to the conversion process; andb) a conversion process directly coupled to the external carbon negative system for receiving one or more of said renewable energy as power in said conversion process and said renewable feedstock as input to said conversion process. 20. A system according to claim 19 in which the size of the carbon negative system is adjustable. 21. A system according to claim 19 in which the carbon negative system produces biochar and biovapors. 22. A system according to claim 19 in which a plurality of external carbon negative system are directly coupled into said conversion process. 23. The system of claim 22, wherein the plurality of external carbon negative systems communicate in parallel with said conversion process. 24. The system of claim 22, wherein the plurality of external carbon negative systems communicate in series with said conversion process.
