Abstract
Methods and systems for producing and removing Cand/or Ccarboxylates and/or methane from carbohydrate containing biomass, an alcohol, and mixtures of microorganisms under an anaerobic environment. The Cand/or Ccarboxylates are removed continuously or in-line. Methanogenesis is not inhibited and very little input carbon is lost as carbon dioxide.
