Don't Forget About Biomass Gasification For Hydrogen |
Since 2019, one of the hottest topics in the energy realm has been hydrogen, and for good reason. Due to a variety of factors, the element has been recognized as a key piece of decarbonization initiatives. Namely, the hydrogen sector's coupling ability allows usage across various energy sectors, such as electricity, transportation, industry, and buildings.
There are various production pathways for the molecule, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Electrolytic hydrogen from renewables has received a lot of media coverage recently, but another production method exists that seems left out of the common discourse surrounding hydrogen: biomass gasification. Biomass gasification, typically used to produce syngas, is a hydrogen pathway with carbon-negative potential that uses a controlled process involving heat, steam, and oxygen to convert biomass to hydrogen and carbon dioxide without combustion. Feedstocks for the method include municipal solid waste, energy crops, agricultural waste, and industrial waste.
