Abstract: The production of green hydrogen by utilizing wood pellets is an effective way to solve the problem of energy shortage and environmental pollution. In order to improve the hydrogen production efficiency of biomass, a co-combustion system of inert porous media and wood pellets was built, and the combustion characteristic of wood pellets was studied with different porous media structures. The results demonstrated that the increasing of air velocity was beneficial to increase the combustion temperature, and hydrogen production reached the maximum value at v = 4 cm/s. Meanwhile, the hydrogen production increased with the increasing of inert bed length due to the intensification of heat circulation. When the length ratio of the hybrid to inert bed was 6: 3, the lower heating value of syngas was 3.69 MJ/Nm3 and the molar fraction of hydrogen increased by 69 % compared to the single wood pellets combustion. Moreover, the decreasing of pellets diameter was conducive to increase syngas production. The co-combustion of inert porous media and wood pellets realized the efficient utilization of biomass, and maximum growth rate of hydrogen reached 142 %.
