The Power of Being Negative: Producing H2 and Sequestered Carbon from Biomass and Waste Resources

Journal Article · · The Bridge
OSTI ID:1969260
Hydrogen can serve as an enabler for decarbonizing our economy, especially for the transportation, manufacturing, and chemicals sectors. Low-carbon H2 can be generated through a number of pathways, including (1) steam methane reforming coupled with carbon capture and sequestration, (2) water electrolysis utilizing renewable electricity, (3) methane pyrolysis, and (4) biomass and waste conversion. However, only the biomass and waste conversion pathway offers a route to carbon-negative H2 when coupled with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), thus providing both a service to our environment through carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere and a valuable downstream product in H2.
