A renewable energy system and related process includes a biomass unit for receiving biomass energy sources, e.g., municipal wastes, used tires and wood waste. The biomass is fed to a power plant which produces electricity and steam which are fed to several units of the system. A bio-diesel unit uses the electricity to convert vegetable oil and animal fat into a bio-diesel fuel. An algae farm uses the electric power and steam in the form of heat to produce algae oil which is fed to the bio-diesel unit and which also is biomass. A corn unit and a corn stover unit produce ethanol. The corn unit also produces corn oil which is fed to the bio-diesel unit, and residue corn becomes dry distilled grains. A fermentation unit discharges carbon dioxide which along with that discharged by the power plant is distributed to the algae farm for growing algae. Also described is a method for converting carbon dioxide to oxygen through the use of algae.
