The invention relates to an integrated hydrogen fueling station for fueling of vehicle tanks with hydrogen characterized in that it comprises an electrochemical compressing unit in which secondary hydrogen originating from leakage, boiling-off or venting of hydrogen-containing gas in one or more of the fueling station's operative units is compressed wherein the secondary hydrogen contains hydrogen and further gaseous components, and to a method for operating such a hydrogen fueling station.

Systems and methods are provided for integrated pyrolysis and gasification of a biomass feed, either as a separate feed or under co-processing conditions. The integrated pyrolysis and gasification can be performed using any convenient reactor configuration, such as fluidized coking reactor configuration or a fluid catalytic cracking reactor configuration. The biomass feed can initially by pyrolyzed to form liquid products, gas phase products, and char. The char can then be used as the input feed to gasification. In aspects where the biomass feed is co-processed, the biomass can be co-processed with a co-feed that is suitable for processing under fluidized coking conditions or other pyrolysis conditions, such as a conventional fluidized coking feedstock.
