A low temperature thermo-chemical conversion of biomass to maximise the hydrogen-rich sync gas product replicate a one-step hydrogen production using oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) as an alternative process for renewable is studied. The slow pyrolysis with inexpensive and abundant selected catalysts alkali metal hydroxides such NaOH conducted in pyrolyser unit continuous feeding system. bio-hydrogen expected be free CO CO2, could optimized at relatively 500-600K, which significantly lower than normal ranges gasification process.
