Investigation of the role of Ca（OH）2 in the catalytic Alkaline Thermal Treatment of cellulose to produce H2 with integrated carbon capture

摘要

The Alkaline Thermal Treatment（ATT）of biomass is one of the few biomass conversion processes that has a potential for BECCS（bio-energy with carbon capture and storage）.Combining in-situ carbon capture withcreates a carbon-neutral process that has the potential to be carbon-negative.This study has shown that the conversion of cellulose tosuppressedcan be achieved through the reforming of gaseous intermediates in a fixed bed of 10%Ni/ZrO2.Reforming occurs at low temperatures≤773 K,which could allow for improved sustainability.
