A feedstock is processed in a coking zone unit to produce at least light gases, coker naphtha, light coker gas oil and petroleum coke. Light coker gas oil, and in certain embodiments hydrotreated light coker gas oil, is subjected to deep hydrogenation to produce a deeply hydrogenated middle distillate fraction. All or a portion of the deeply hydrogenated middle distillate fraction is used as feed to a petrochemicals production complex to produce light olefins.

Processes for converting a hydrocarbon-containing feed by pyrolysis and gasification/combustion. The hydrocarbon-containing feed and heated particles can be fed into a pyrolysis zone and contacted therein to effect pyrolysis of the hydrocarbons and produce a pyrolysis effluent. A gaseous stream rich in olefins and a particle stream rich in particles that include coke disposed thereon can be obtained from the pyrolysis effluent. A CO.sub.2-rich stream that includes, on a dry basis, CO.sub.2 at a concentration 90 vol %, based on the total volume of the CO.sub.2-rich stream, can be obtained from the gasification/combustion gas mixture.
