Abstract
AbstractCatalytic biomass gasification is a promising thermochemical conversion pathway for converting palm oil empty fruit bunch (EFB) into hydrogen (H2) as future energy needed to support the global net‐zero emission goal in 2050. This study developed a limonite catalyst, a byproduct of nickel mining, to enhance hydrogen‐rich bio‐syngas production from EFB gasification. The findings demonstrate that limonite has successfully catalyzed the biomass gasification process with an increase in bio‐syngas production by 27–30 % volume. At an operating temperature of 700 °C, the use of limonite catalyst and steam as gasifying agent produced 24 L of bio‐syngas with H2/CO ratio 15.84, and H2 accounting for the largest share at 63.45 % volume.
