Abstract
Biomass represents a highly promising source for generating hydrogen, offering significant advantages in increasing the sustainability of hydrogen energy technologies. To understand the development status, research hotspots and development trends in hydrogen production from biomass, the publications in Web of Science (WoS) database from 2000 to 2023 in terms of annual number, institutions, countries/regions and keywords were analyzed by bibliometric analysis. The hot-spot methods for hydrogen production identified were gasification, pyrolysis, steam reforming, chemical looping reforming, aqueous phase reforming and fermentation. The principles of these hydrogen production processes were comprehensively reviewed, as well as the factors affecting production efficiency. Additionally, the advantages and disadvantages of the six discussed methods were also examined. Currently, the cost of biomass-derived hydrogen has been estimated to be comparable to that of hydrogen produced from fossil fuels (<2 USD/kg), while achieving a reduction in carbon emissions of over 90 %. Low pollutant emission, low cost and high hydrogen production efficiency are the future development trends of hydrogen production from biomass. This review provides a reference for the preparation and utilization of hydrogen.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
