Abstract

Biomass gasification is a promising technology for hydrogen production. This study presents H2 production from olive tree pruning (OTP), employing a fixed dual-bed reactor that combines OPT gasification and volatile reforming. The thermal steam gasification of OTP was performed at 850 °C, followed by the catalytic gasification of volatiles at different temperatures. Red mud (RM) and nickel loaded red mud (Ni-RM) catalysts were used as catalytic bed material.
