A recent study by the University of Johannesburg reveals a promising development in turning crushed sugar cane waste into green hydrogen using a process called Sorption-Enhanced Chemical Looping Gasification (SECLG). This innovative method shows high energy efficiency and produces minimal unwanted by-products compared to conventional biomass gasification, offering a sustainable solution for decarbonizing energy-intensive industries. The SECLG process, simulated at laboratory scale, demonstrates a significant increase in green hydrogen yield while reducing tar concentration and lowering nitrogen dilution in the gas stream. The study highlights the economic and environmental advantages of SECLG, indicating potential cost savings and reduced carbon emissions. Furthermore, the comparison of oxygen carriers in the process shows that nickel oxide is more effective in producing high-purity hydrogen and capturing carbon dioxide, while ferric oxide may offer possibilities for producing transportation fuels alongside hydrogen. With further experimental validation and scale-up efforts, SECLG could revolutionize industrial biofuel-to-syngas operations, especially in countries like South Africa with existing biomass infrastructure.
