Synthetic fuels from biomass and hydrogen
High-purity Hydrogen from Woody Biomass: A Decentralized Production Plant in the Relevant Environment
Short Introductive summary
A whole value chain for decentralized high-purity hydrogen production from woody biomass and on-site utilization in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell tractor was developed. Therefore, a 100 kWH2 demonstration plant, the so-called BioH2Modul, and a fuel cell tractor, the so-called FCTRAC, were built and will be operated in Carinthia (Austria) in 2024. Within the hydrogen production process, wood chips are converted by downdraft fixed-bed gasification into a product gas, which is then conditioned, cleaned, and purified. The obtained hydrogen shall meet the hydrogen quality according to the standard ISO14687:2019. The process has already been investigated in lab-scale at TU Wien. Those accompanying test runs in lab-scale proved the technical feasibility of the process and the hydrogen purity was found to be higher than 99.97 vol.-%.
