Lithuanian researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) and Lithuanian Energy Institute (LEI) have pioneered a novel technology that revolutionizes clean energy production by efficiently converting waste into high-purity hydrogen. The new method overcomes the challenge of tar presence in gasification processes, ensuring a cleaner and more effective hydrogen output. By utilizing an updraft gasifier followed by a catalytic reforming reactor, this approach enhances hydrogen content in syngas up to 60 vol%, promoting a more sustainable fuel source. The choice of catalysts, particularly KATALCO™ 57-4GQ, plays a vital role in breaking down tar and improving hydrogen production efficiency. Operating at atmospheric pressure, this technology eliminates the need for high-cost infrastructure and offers a more environmentally friendly solution compared to traditional methods like steam methane reforming. The versatility of this innovation allows for the conversion of various waste materials, including plastics, textiles, and biomass, into valuable hydrogen. With its successful testing at Technology Readiness Level 5 (TRL5), this technology is moving closer to industrial implementation, paving the way for a cleaner and more sustainable future in hydrogen production.
