As the demand for clean and sustainable energy sources rises, hydrogen is gaining traction as a potential solution. Projections suggest a significant surge in hydrogen demand by 2050, emphasizing the need for sustainable production methods to replace traditional fossil fuels. While steam methane reforming currently dominates global hydrogen production, its reliance on natural gas and high greenhouse gas emissions prompt the exploration of alternative, greener options. Biomass, including agricultural residues and forest waste, presents a renewable energy source for hydrogen production through various thermochemical processes like pyrolysis and gasification. These methods yield bio-oils with higher energy density than the original biomass, offering a promising route for renewable hydrogen. Steam reforming of biomass-derived bio-oil shows potential for viable hydrogen production, with ongoing research focusing on optimizing the process through catalyst development and thermodynamic analysis. Advanced techniques like sorption-enhanced reforming and chemical looping aim to enhance hydrogen yield and efficiency by capturing CO2 and reducing energy demands. Furthermore, integrating waste heat recovery from processes like gas turbines and solar energy systems can further boost the overall efficiency of hydrogen production. By combining sustainable feedstocks, advanced technologies, and energy-efficient practices, the journey towards greener hydrogen production continues to evolve.
