Effect of carbon structure on hydrogen release derived from different biomass pyrolysis

Producing hydrogen from biomass via pyrolysis is a promising solution to meet the increasing demand for fossil fuel and CO2 release reduction. The correlation between hydrogen release and biomass structure during pyrolysis is investigated in this study. Pyrolysis gases including hydrogen, CH4, CO, and CO2 from three representative biomass, namely, pine, cottonwood and rice straw, are collected from fixed bed reactor and analyzed by gas...
