Plasma gasification of raw and torrefied woody, non-woody, algal biomass using three different gasifying agents (air, steam, CO2) is conducted through a thermodynamic analysis. The impacts feedstock reaction atmosphere on various performance indices such as syngas yield, pollutant emissions, plasma energy to production ratio (PSR), efficiency (PGE) are studied. Results show that CO2 gives the lowest PSR, thereby leading highest PGE among atmospheres. Torrefied displays increased yield PGE,...

In this study, an energy, exergy, and environmental (3E) analyses of a plasma-assisted hydrogen production process from microalgae is investigated. Four different microalgal biomass fuels, namely, raw (RM) three torrefied fuels (TM200, TM250, TM300), are used as the feedstock for steam plasma gasification to generate syngas hydrogen. The effects steam-to-biomass (S/B) ratio on yields, energy exergy efficiencies (ηEn,PG, ηEx,PG) (ηEn,H2, ηEx,H2) taken into account. Results show that optimal...

Synthetic natural gas (SNG) is a promising alternative to conventional fossil gas. This study proposes chemical looping hydrogen production (CLHP)-based route for SNG synthesis and elucidates the insights necessities of appropriately co-feeding different types feedstocks maximize yields subsequent SNG. A employing microalgae (MA) refuse-derived fuel (RDF) as biomass municipal solid waste representatives demonstrates that blending MA with RDF in proportion 40 %:60 % (0.4MA-0.6RDF) eradicates...

Renewable synthesis fuels play a crucial role in enabling circular economy. This study assesses the environmental impacts of power-to-hydrogen and biomass-to-hydrogen routes, considering four hydrogen storage options: hydrogen, ammonia, methane, methanol with function unit 1 liter stored hydrogen-derived product. The assessment encompasses metrics such as carbon footprint, use fossil nuclear energy, ecosystem quality, human health impact, water scarcity. results reveal that biomass-based...

This study is particularly aimed at investigating the influence of hydrogen chloride traces in biogas on direct internal reforming solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The experiments are performed with simulated containing methane to carbon dioxide ratio 3:2, usual average proportion biogas. To best our knowledge, there no reported studies that investigated effect by clearly establishing outlet gas composition measurements. SOFC operating temperature 850 °C reveals negative or cell performance,...
