Hydrogen is considered as a zero-emission fuel when produced through biomass thermochemical conversion. Prominent thermochemical methods i.e. pyrolysis, gasification, supercritical water gasification, hydrothermal upgrading followed by steam gasification, bio-oil reforming, and pyrolysis inline reforming have received significant attention. Recent research trend has been oriented to get high yield and improved quality of hydrogen from biomass. Nevertheless, the high energy input and poor conversion of biomass to hydrogen-rich syngas increase its cost. In order to fulfill the energy demand in a sustainable and clean manner, it is necessary to develop the technology for the production. Different reaction schemes involved in cracking, reforming, pyrolysis, and co-pyrolysis processes can be thermodynamically controlled after understanding the reaction mechanism. Understanding the reaction mechanism and implementing the optimized process parameters and suitable biomass, an appropriate quantity of hydrogen can be produced economically.
This Special Issue, hydrogen production from biomass through thermochemical techniques, seeks high-quality works and topics on a better understanding of reaction mechanism involved in biomass thermochemical conversion. This special issue also considers manuscripts that provide concepts or methodology that can be utilized for the engineering of hydrogen production from biomass. Also, it covers various influences of biomass type, process parameters and operating conditions responsible for high yield of hydrogen production. The scope of interests includes but it is not limited to the following topics:
1. Thermochemical methods
2. Concepts or methodology for hydrogen production
3. Reaction mechanism of biomass thermochemical conversion
4. Catalyst for hydrogen production
5. Process simulation
