Researchers Propose Solar-Driven Biomass Gasification Pathway for Synthetic Fuel Production

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen for reverse water gas shift reaction to avoid producing CO 2 during the process is produced by electrolyzing water, driven by solar power. Hot syngas from the gasifier is cooled and cleaned, then compressed to the reformer (methane reforming) and the reverse water gas shift (Re-WGS) reactor. Hertwich and Zhang (2009).
