Hydrogen Production Factsheet

Biohydrogen: Typically, biohydrogen refers to

Technologies such as ABSL’s RadGas process [23] have been designed to overcome this by utilising high temperatures and plasma catalysts to remove tars and vitrify ash to produce a clean syngas. Syngas produced from biomass gasification can have issues with contaminants such as tars and ash from the input waste stream [24].

hydrogen produced from gasification of a biomass feedstock to produce syngas, as with the blue hydrogen production process above. The water gas shift reaction can then produce hydrogen from carbon monoxide and water to increase hydrogen output concentration. The hydrogen output stream can then be further purified to produce either fuel cell or heat grade hydrogen.

Figure 4: Phase 1 and 2 of the Government's bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) Innovation Programme Hydrogen from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) BECCS Innovation Programme will support technologies which can produce hydrogen from biogenic feedstocks and be combined with carbon capture. It forms part of the BEIS £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio, which aims to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative clean energy technologies and processes through the 2020s and 2030s.
