Catalysis of Gas-Phase Reactions in Steam Gasification of Biomass

  • Chapter
Fundamentals of Thermochemical Biomass Conversion

Abstract

Catalysts play a major role in conventional hydrocarbon processing but only recently have they been applied to conversion of biomass materials. Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) is studying catalytic steam gasification of biomass for producing specific gas products. These studies are sponsored by the Biomass Energy Systems Division of the US Department of Energy.
