Researchers at IISc in India develop technology to produce green hydrogen from biomass

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed an innovative technology that can produce hydrogen from biomass. The process consists of two steps. In the first step, biomass is converted into syngas — a hydrogen-rich fuel gas mixture — in a novel reactor using oxygen and steam. In the second step, pure hydrogen is generated from syngas
