Hydrogen production from biomass by catalytic gasification in hot compressed water

Renewable Energy, 1999, vol. 16, issue 1, 1114-1117

Abstract: Cellulose, a major component of woody biomass, was gasified to hydrogen rich gas using a reduced nickel catalyst in hot-compressed water of around 350 °C and 18 MPa. During the gasification, steam reforming and methanation can occur, and the methanation was prevented at subcritical condition. The reaction model and the catalyst are described.
