Intensified Biomass Gasification with in-situ Enhanced CO2-sorbents for Hydrogen Production

Short Introductive summary

As part of a national R&D programme on technologies for the hydrogen production from renewable sources, an activity is underway to develop an intensified gasification process involving the use of in-situ sorbents for the simultaneous capture of CO2 and enhancement of the water gas shift (WGS) reaction. Process of reference is the gasification of residual biomass promoted by steam as a gasification agent. Such a condition was adopted with the aim of producing a N2-free syngas and with a high content in H2. Moreover, with the intent of using an inexpensive and easy-to-dispose materials at the end of life, calcined dolomite was selected as a CO2 sorbent of reference. Enhanced sorbents were thus produced by the natural mineral by wet impregnation with K2CO3. In this communication, an overview of the activities carried out and the most relevant results achieved will be presented and discussed, including an outlook on the expected developments.
