Details the content impacts on hydrogen production19.
| Property | Values | Impact on Hydrogen Production |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon (%) | 27.8 | Provides a carbon source for syngas formation (CO + H₂). |
| Hydrogen (%) | 7.9 | Directly contributes to hydrogen-rich syngas. |
| Oxygen (%) | - | Promotes partial oxidation/ enhances the gas |
| Sulfur (%) | - | Trace impurity and influences gas cleaning |
| Nitrogen (%) | - | It contributes to NOx formation at higher temperature processing |
| Volatile Matter | 65.3 | Increases gas yield, enhancing hydrogen production. |
| Fixed Carbon | 15.7 | Affects char formation and influences syngas quality. |
| Ash content | 18.2 | Affects the reactive portion available for gasification |
| Higher heating value (HHV in MJ/kg) | 21.4 | Potential for higher hydrogen production |
| Moisture content | - | Required for drying |
