Abstract
Combining multiple subsystems involving biomass processing, biomass gasification of the processed biomass where a synthesis gas is produced then converted to hydrogen fuels or other transportation fuels for use in coupled transportation systems sized to consume all the transportation fuel produced. Carbon in the biomass is converted to CO2 in the conversion process and a portion of that CO2 is captured and sequestrated for long term storage.
Claims15
A method of converting biomass into hydrogen, the steps of the method comprising:
- creating processed biomass from unprocessed biomass having a moisture content of 30% to 45% by weight by:
- adding drying heat to a system configured to reduce moisture of unprocessed biomass to 17% or less by weight;
- filtering out particulates from the unprocessed biomass which exceed a predetermined diameter threshold using one or more of:
- a screen, diverter gate, and disc screener;
- depositing processed biomass in storage;
- submitting the processed biomass to a gasification process to create a syngas in which:
- a portion of the processed biomass is converted to carbon dioxide that is captured and sequestered in a storage tank;
- and
- hydrogen is produced, captured and directed into a transportation fuel use.
