Process Design and Economic Assessment of Biomass-Based Hydrogen Production Processes
Abstract
The development of hydrogen energy is in progress as one of the key paths for achieving net-zero and carbon–neutral society.
Signifi cant attention is currently being paid to pathways for biomass-based hydrogen production, as the utilization of biomass
energy is more sustainable than that of fossil fuels. In this study, the production of hydrogen from biomass gasifi cation and
reforming is modeled with Aspen Plus®. This process model is built to simulate thermo-physical properties and operating
characteristics of syngas production through the gasifi cation of woodchip and tar reforming, and the conversion of syngas
to hydrogen, based on steam reforming and water gas shifting reaction. The hydrogen production rate and production costs
are evaluated considering biomass feedstock’s with diff erent moisture content, ash content, and particle sizes.
