Abstract:
Hydrogen production from dual fluidized bed (DFB) gasification of biomass has the potential to help to fulfill the aims of the UN and EU to reduce fossil fuel demand. To investigate the production of hydrogen from biomass a research plant producing 3 Nm3 of hydrogen per hour was set up. First results showed the possibility to produce hydrogen from biomass with a purity of more than 99.99 %. However, techno economic analysis showed the need to reduce consumables. Therefore temperature swing adsorption (TSA) was investigated as an alternative to the biodiesel scrubber. First results show the good potential for using a TSA in the process chain. Nevertheless, additional work will have to confirm the long term stability and cost reduction potential for long-running commercial units.
