Abstract
In the context of increasing global energy demand, there is an urgent need to find alternative sustainable and renewable resources to mitigate the impact of climate change and avoid an energy crisis. The annual regeneration rate of global biomass is approximately 100 billion tons, and currently, hydrogen energy is considered an ideal clean energy for achieving carbon neutrality goals. Therefore, by utilizing the abundant biomass waste and abundant solar energy produced globally, it is possible to develop a bioeconomic combination of hydrogen energy with high combustion value and no pollution, effectively alleviating the energy crisis and environmental pollution issues in the world today. This review describes the thermodynamic mechanism of hydrogen production by photocatalytic reforming of biomass and analyzes the current photocatalytic reforming of H2 technology for different lignocellulosic biomass. Finally, the prospects and future challenges of photocatalytic biomass reforming for H2 technology are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Fuel Processing Technology (FPT) deals with the scientific and technological aspects of converting fossil and renewable resources to clean fuels, value-added chemicals, fuel-related advanced carbon materials and by-products. In addition to the traditional non-nuclear fossil fuels, biomass and wastes, papers on the integration of renewables such as solar and wind energy and energy storage into the fuel processing processes, as well as papers on the production and conversion of non-carbon-containing fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, are also welcome. While chemical conversion is emphasized, papers on advanced physical conversion processes are also considered for publication in FPT. Papers on the fundamental aspects of fuel structure and properties will also be considered.
