BioHydrogen in integrated Energy systems
Thermodynamic and practical analysis of hydrogen production from biomass.
Purpose
Upon completion of the project, we will have insight into the potential of hydrogen from biomass for the Dutch energy system, including energy parameters for a specific pyrolysis and a gasification technique.
Description
Thermochemical routes to produce hydrogen from natural gas produce a lot of CO2 and it is difficult to sustain this for a net-zero emission target, even if you store the CO2. With hydrogen production routes from biomass, on the contrary, it is possible to achieve negative CO2 emissions. BioHydrogen (Biohydrogen in integrated energy systems) analyses several such routes based on their thermodynamic properties and technical requirements, thus arriving at recommendations on when it is a good idea to use biomass for hydrogen production.
Our role
We ensure that a white paper on using biomass for hydrogen production is realised, along with an inventory of equipment needed to get such innovations off the ground.
