Abstract

This project involves the development of a new, efficient and low cost single step process (Absorption Enhanced Reforming, AER) for clean biomass conversion into a hydrogen rich gas (H₂ conc. > 80 vol. %) with low tar content. In addition it aims to develop and/or select efficient catalytic CO₂ absorbent bed materials with improved mechanical and chemical stability for the AER process. This should enable the design of an AER biomass plant with investment costs less than 800 Euro/kW and energetic efficiency for H₂ production higher than 75%.
