title = "Potential of hydrogen production from biomass",
abstract = "An experimental study of hydrogen production from biomass was conducted using a bench-scale fluidized bed gasifier. Parametric experiments were performed to determine the effects of reaction temperature, steam to biomass ratio (S/B), equivalence ratio (ER) and catalysts. The catalysts used were dolomites and nickel-based catalysts and were located in gasifier and a downstream fixed reactor, respectively. Of the conditions tested without catalysts, hydrogen yield ranges between 22 and 71g H2 per kg of biomass (wet basis) and hydrogen yield potential ranges between 115 and 223 g H2 per kg of biomass (wet basis). The experimental results prove that higher reaction temperature; proper ER and S/B will contribute to more hydrogen production. Dolomites and nickel-based catalysts show to be very active and useful for increasing hydrogen yield and gas conditioning.",
