The growing demand for clean and sustainable energy sources has led to an increased interest in the production of hydrogen as an alternative fuel. Bio-oil, derived from biomass, is a promising feedstock for hydrogen production due to its abundant availability and renewable nature. In this study, we performed a thermodynamic analysis of hydrogen production from model compounds of bio-oil through steam reforming. By assessing the thermodynamic feasibility and efficiency of the process, we aimed to provide insights into the potential of bio-oil as a viable source for hydrogen generation, Hydrogen has emerged as a promising alternative to fossil fuels due to its high energy density and zero greenhouse gas emissions when used in fuel cells. The conventional methods of hydrogen production, such as steam methane reforming, have limitations in terms of carbon footprint and dependence on non-renewable resources. Biomass-derived bio-oil, on the other hand, offers a renewable and carbon-neutral source for hydrogen production, the utilization of bio-oil for hydrogen production presents several advantages, including reduced environmental impact, diversification of feedstock sources, and potential integration with existing infrastructure. However, the complex composition of bio-oil poses challenges in terms of process optimization and efficiency. A thermodynamic analysis can provide valuable insights into the feasibility and potential improvements of hydrogen production from bio-oil.
