Assessment of selected concepts for hydrogen production based on biomass

The conversion of biomass is considered an important option for supplying the future mobility sector with sustainable hydrogen. For hydrogen based on biomass basically bio- or thermochemical conversions routes can be applied. While the biochemical ones are on a laboratory scale today, some thermochemical and combined are close to commercial demonstration and/or market implementation. Selected concepts for biohydrogen production and its distribution are analyzed and assessed in detail with regard to technical, economic, and environmental issues.
