Utilization of non-renewable energy sources not only results in environmental deterioration but also confronts us with the dilemma of a rapid rate of depletion of such resources, while renewable energy sources can serve us indefinitely with minimal environmental impacts as compared with fossil and n

โฆ Synopsis
studied for biomass conversion include gasification and pyrolysis followed by steam reforming and water gas shift conversion. The systems studied were based on four types of reactors: low pressure, indirectly-heated gasification; high pressure, direct-fired gasification; fluid bed pyrolysis; and high pressure, high temperature partial oxidation. Sensitivity analyses were an integral part of all analyses performed. These helped to identify situations that would maximize the economics, and to direct research toward areas that can have the largest impacts on costs. A comparison of the cost of hydrogen from all systems studied will be presented.
