Abstract:
Electrochemical processes for hydrogen production, microbial electrolysis cells and proton exchange membrane electrolysis cells, have yields ranging from 15 to 98 g H2/kgbiomass, whereas thermochemical processes such as gasification have yields ranging from 40 to 190 g H2/kg biomass, with steam gasification having the highest yields. These production yields make thermochemical processing a very appealing and advantageous alternative for biomass conversion for renewable gas production. The levelized costs of hydrogen vary between 5 and 9.1 €/kg depending on the production source. This makes thermal steam gasification a viable alternative for producing hydrogen from biomass, as the yields are higher.
