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. For comparison, they also modeled the production of methanol using only biomass as a fuel and also using coal as source of both carbon and energy. Energy conversion efficiency (%).
