Hydrogen from Waste Gasification

Abstract

Hydrogen is a versatile energy vector for a plethora of applications; nevertheless, its production from waste/residues is often overlooked. Gasification and subsequent conversion of the raw synthesis gas to hydrogen are an attractive alternative to produce renewable hydrogen. In this paper, recent developments in R&D on waste gasification (municipal solid waste, tires, plastic waste) are summarised, and an overview about suitable gasification processes is given. A literature survey indicated that a broad span of hydrogen relates to productivity depending on the feedstock, ranging from 15 to 300 g H2/kg of feedstock. Suitable gas treatment (upgrading and separation) is also covered, presenting both direct and indirect (chemical looping) concepts. Hydrogen production via gasification offers a high productivity potential. However, regulations, like frame conditions or subsidies, are necessary to bring the technology into the market.
