SYNERGIES OF GREEN HYDROGEN AND BIOBASED VALUE CHAINS DEVELOPMENT: Case studies on Hydrogen produced from biomass

The report looks into types of technologies for producing biomass-based hydrogen (so-called biohydrogen) and their respective technology readiness level. It provides a synthesized view on promising biomass technologies and the major drivers and barriers for their deployment. The descriptions of technologies and concepts – including 1) technology readiness and economic fundamentals and 2) climate effects and role in the energy system – are done through case studies.

Task 36 contributed to this report the case study The Bioflex Concept – Two step biological process for biohydrogen and methane production. Briefly, the combination of biohydrogen and methane production was tested in pilot scale in the Bioflex project, led by RISE Research institutes of Sweden (RISE). The aim of this project was to study the generation of two biobased gas products to establish a more flexible and robust production system. Process water from the sugar industry was used as carbon and energy substrate
