Syngas and hydrogen production from biogas in volumetric (3D) matrix reformers

摘要

This paper describes a new type of syngas and hydrogen generator that requires no catalyst but is able to convert low-quality biogas with a CO_2 content of up to 60%. The generator is based on the recently developed volumetric permeable matrix reformers with effective heat recovery. This generator is a compact and stably operated device that introduces an effective and relatively simple method of syngas and hydrogen production from various renewable sources for various applications, including feeding fuel cells and enhancing the performance characteristics of power engines.
