FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the production of liquid fuels in the processing of a source of hydrocarbons. Method for producing a liquid hydrocarbon product includes the steps of: grounding source of hydrocarbons, where the source of hydrocarbons contains at least one selected from the group consisting of coal, anthracite coal, bituminous coal, lignite, sub-bituminous coal, low-grade coal, coke, oil sand and oil shale; pretreating crushed source of hydrocarbons, where the pretreatment of the crushed source of hydrocarbons includes chemical pretreatment, thermal pretreatment, oxidation of a hydrocarbon source, or a combination thereof; solubilizing the crushed source of hydrocarbons, obtaining a suspension containing molecules of the source of hydrocarbons participating in the reaction, where solubilizing a crushed hydrocarbon source involves treating a crushed hydrocarbon source with at least one enzyme to break crosslinks in the crushed hydrocarbon source; mixing biochemical solution into the suspension, containing at least one conversion enzyme, designed to facilitate selective photofragmentation of the bonds of the hydrocarbon source molecules involved in the reaction, where at least one conversion enzyme contains manganese peroxidase; inducing the fragmentation of molecules involved in the reaction, producing liquid hydrocarbons, using selective enzymatic catalyzed photo-fragmentation of bonds; separating liquid hydrocarbons from the slurry, with contaminants remaining in the slurry; and enriching liquid hydrocarbons, getting a liquid hydrocarbon product, where the liquid hydrocarbon product contains at least one selected from the group consisting of gasoline, diesel fuel and kerosene.

EFFECT: technical result is expanding the range of methods for the production of liquid fuels and providing less energy.
