Supercritical Water Gasification: Reaction Mechanism and Kinetics

Hydrogen is defined as an attractive energy carrier due to its potentially higher energy efficiency and lower generation of pollutants, which can replace conventional fossil fuels in the future. The governments have invested huge funds and made great efforts on the research of hydrogen production. Among the various options, supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is the most promising method of hydrogen production from biomass.
