Alkaline thermal treatment of seaweed for high-purity hydrogen production with carbon capture and storage potential

Abstract: Current thermochemical methods to generate H 2 include gasification and steam reforming of coal and natural gas, in which anthropogenic CO 2 emission is inevitable. If biomass is used as a source of H 2 , the process can be considered carbon-neutral. Seaweeds are among the less studied types of biomass with great potential because they do not require freshwater. Unfortunately, reaction pathways to thermochemically convert salty and wet biomas… Show more

“…However, this did not affect the performance of NaOH in the alkaline pyrolysis process, and the formation rule of CH 4 and the carbon capture effect were not affected. 24 These results show that it is feasible to recycle NaOH from Na 2 CO 3 to reduce the cost of alkaline pyrolysis. The CaCO 3 produced by the causticizing reaction is calcined to generate CaO and CO 2 , where CaO reacts with H 2 O to generate Ca(OH) 2 .…”

“…According to the International Energy Agency, the energy demand is estimated to increase by 30 % by 2040. [ 1 , 2 ] Simultaneously, the scenario proposes reducing CO 2 emissions by more than 40 % in 2015–2040. Currently, the EU Commission reports that global fossil CO 2 emissions still increased by 0.9 % in 2019 to a total of 38 Gt CO 2 .…”

“…Technologies to harness H 2 from gaseous and solid biomass-based feedstocks include steam reforming (SR) in which light hydrocarbons are reacted with steam to produce H 2 and CO 2 , usually in the presence of a catalyst (Ross, 1984;Ming et al, 2002), partial oxidation in which biomass is partial combusted with limited amount of O 2 to produce synthetic gas (a mixture of CO and H 2 ) (Dissanayake et al, 1991;Hohn and Schmidt, 2001), and autothermal reforming (ATR) in which biomass is mixed with steam, and a limited amount of O 2 to produce synthetic gas and CO 2 (Dissanayake et al, 1991;Joensen and Rostrup-Nielsen, 2002;Deluga et al, 2004). Alkaline hydrothermal treatment (ATT) of wet biomass has been extensively reported to enhance H 2 generation from wet biomass with inherent CO 2 capture to produce inorganic carbonates (Stonor et al, 2017a;Zhang et al, 2020). However, few approaches have addressed strategies to harness H 2 from aqueous biomass oxygenate streams.…”
