Intensification of Gasification of Biomass and Waste for Hydrogen Production

By Abby Samson and Anh Phan

Intensification of Gasification of Biomass and Waste for Hydrogen Production presents current developments and challenges for non-coal gasification and the state-of-the-art of technologies for green hydrogen production from waste and residues. The book expertly brings together waste biomass gasification with the production of hydrogen and liquid fuels, process integration, intensification, and techno-economics, providing a vital guide to green hydrogen production. Users will find this to be a comprehensive reference on the production of green hydrogen through waste gasification that will be invaluable to graduate students, researchers, and industry engineers.

Taking a whole plant unit approach, the book takes the reader through each stage of biomass gasification for the production and refining of hydrogen. The parameters affecting the properties of producer gases are discussed and evaluated, such as types of feedstocks, pre-treatment methods, types of gasifiers, gasifying agents, and operating conditions. Hydrogen purification and gas cleaning are also explained. The latest developments in process intensification and integration are critically reviewed, and the practical challenges and limitations of each method is discussed.
