| Summary: | Energy crises and serious environmental issues associated with fossil fuels urge for alternative, sustainable and renewable energy. Hydrogen has a potential to be a significant energy carrier in the future since it is a clean fuel. Hydrogen production from local biomass i.e. palm oil waste is an attractive option due to its abundance in the country. Biomass catalytic steam gasification and steam gasification with in-situ CO2 adsorption processes show great potential for renewable hydrogen production. However, the quality and quantity of hydrogen rich gas with considerable tar inhibits the application of these processes in power generation and fuel cell. |
