This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will develop a catalytic process for the generation of hydrogen and/or hydrocarbon fuel gases from biomass. The project will generate fuel gases by reactions of oxygenated hydrocarbons derived from carbohydrates (biomass) with liquid water at low temperatures (~200 C). Current hydrogen production is based on fossil hydrocarbons. The problem with fossil hydrocarbon use is that it is non-renewable, increasingly imported and generates greenhouse gasses. This project represents a new route for renewable fuel gas generation. The overall project objective is to identify cost effective catalysts, catalytic structures and operating parameters to maximize the efficient production of hydrogen and/or hydrocarbons derived from US grown biomass for use in fuel cell and combustion engine applications. The commercial and broader impacts of this project will be improved energy security as well as clean and renewable fuel gases that may be used as fuel sources for fuel cells, internal combustion engines, and gas turbines.

该小企业技术转让（STTR）第一阶段项目将开发一种催化工艺，用于从生物质中产生氢气和/或碳氢化合物燃料气体。该项目将通过碳水化合物（生物质）与液态水在低温（~200 C）下的反应产生燃料气体。目前的氢生产是基于化石碳氢化合物。化石碳氢化合物使用的问题是，它是不可再生的，越来越多地进口，并产生温室气体。该项目代表了可再生燃料气体发电的新途径。项目的总体目标是确定具有成本效益的催化剂、催化结构和操作参数，以最大限度地有效生产来自美国生长的生物质的氢和/或碳氢化合物，用于燃料电池和内燃机应用。该项目的商业和更广泛的影响将是改善能源安全以及清洁和可再生燃料气体，可用作燃料电池，内燃机和燃气轮机的燃料来源。
