Through the use of a metal catalyst, biomass gasification can be accomplished with high levels of carbon conversion to gas at relatively low temperature. In the pressurized-water environment (21 MPa) at sub-critical temperature (623K) near-total conversion of the organic structure of biomass to gases has been accomplished in the presence of a ruthenium metal catalyst. The process is strictly a steam reforming reaction as there is no added oxidizer or reagent other than water. In addition, the gas produced is a medium-heating-value gas due to the synthesis of high-levels of methane, as dictated by thermodynamic equilibrium. This type of processing has been accomplished at the bench-scale in continuous-flow reactor systems.
