Abstract:
Production of Substitute Natural Gas (SNG) by biomass hydrogasificationhas been assessed, as a process for chemical storage of hydrogen.
Thermodynamic analysis has shown the feasibility of this process. The
produced SNG has a Wobbe-index, and a calorific value comparable to the
quality of the standard Dutch natural gas. With a hydrogen content below 10
mol%, the produced SNG can be transported through the existing natural gas
net without any adjustments. In the long term, hydrogen from water
electrolysis will become available for the energy market, and can be used
within this process. In the short term, the hydrogen required for the process
may be obtained from hydrogen-rich gases available as by-product from
industrial processes. Results of thermodynamic analysis of the process, its
application and demonstration potentials in The Netherlands, and plans for
future development are presented. 20 refs.
