Abstract
The aim of HyPR-MEET system is to produce hydrogen from biomass resources by means of gasification with high-temperature steam of 1000-1300℃. In this paper, basic gasification characteristics of wood chips and meat-and-bone meals with high-temperature steam were investigated. In addition, we measured the reaction rate of gasification of char produced from both samples under high-temperature with and without steam supply. The experimental results show that H_2 and total gas production substantially increased under 900℃ steam gasification. The char gasification reaction was significantly promoted by increasing the reaction temperature and supplying steam.
