Abstract

A process of energy production is disclosed. The process includes integrating three or more energy production technologies such that a first byproduct of a first energy production technology is applied to a second energy production technology and a second byproduct of the second energy production technology is applied to a third energy production technology. The process also includes operating the integrated energy production technologies to produce energy such that at least a portion of the first byproduct is utilized in an operation of the second energy production technology and a portion of the second byproduct is utilized in an operation of the third energy production technology.
