Hydrogen Production via Oxidative Steam Reforming of Biomass Pyrolysis Volatiles over Ni-Based Catalysts: Role of Support and Space-Time
Short Introductive summary
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources highlights hydrogen as a key future energy vector. Biomass fast pyrolysis coupled with oxidative steam reforming (P-OSR) offers a sustainable route for hydrogen production under autothermal conditions. This study investigates Ni-based catalysts supported on Al?O?, MgO, and ZrO? for upgrading biomass pyrolysis volatiles. Among them, Ni/Al?O? showed superior performance, demonstrating high conversion and hydrogen yield. These findings emphasize the critical role of catalyst support and reactor space-time in optimizing hydrogen production from biomass.
