This invention provides processes and systems for converting biomass into high-carbon biogenic reagents that are suitable for a variety of commercial applications. Some embodiments employ pyrolysis in the presence of an inert gas to generate hot pyrolyzed solids, condensable vapors, and non-condensable gases, followed by separation of vapors and gases, and cooling of the hot pyrolyzed solids in the presence of the inert gas. Additives may be introduced during processing or combined with the reagent, or both. The biogenic reagent may include at least 70 wt %, 80 wt %, 90 wt %, 95 wt %, or more total carbon on a dry basis. The biogenic reagent may have an energy content of at least 12,000 Btu/lb, 13,000 Btu/lb, 14,000 Btu/lb, or 14,500 Btu/lb on a dry basis. The biogenic reagent may be formed into fine powders, or structural objects. The structural objects may have a structure and/or strength that derive from the feedstock, heat rate, and additives. 1. A biogenic fluidized-bed composition comprising , on a dry basis:at least about 55 wt % total carbon;at most about 5 wt % hydrogen;at most about 1 wt % nitrogen;at most about 0.5 wt % phosphorus;at most about 0.2 wt % sulfur; andan additive selected from a metal, a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide, a metal halide, or a combination thereof.2. The biogenic fluidized-bed composition of claim 1 , wherein the additive is selected from magnesium claim 1 , manganese claim 1 , aluminum claim 1 , nickel claim 1 , chromium claim 1 , silicon claim 1 , boron claim 1 , cerium claim 1 , molybdenum claim 1 , phosphorus claim 1 , tungsten claim 1 , vanadium claim 1 , iron halide claim 1 , iron chloride claim 1 , iron bromide claim 1 , magnesium oxide claim 1 , dolomite claim 1 , dolomitic lime claim 1 , fluorite claim 1 , fluorospar claim 1 , bentonite claim 1 , calcium oxide claim 1 , lime claim 1 , or a combination thereof.3. The biogenic fluidized-bed composition of claim 1 , wherein the biogenic fluidized-bed composition comprises at ...
