Hydrogen Production from EtOH by Supercritical Water Partial Oxidation

Near zero emission hydrogen-based processes, especially with respect to greenhouse gas emission, can be achieved if hydrogen originates from renewable feedstock, such as bio-ethanol. Indeed, bio-ethanol is almost neutral from the standpoint of global warming because its production through agriculture consumes just slightly less CO2 than is produced during combustion. The present book reports findings on hydrogen production from ethanol by non-catalytic supercritical water partial oxidation (SWPO).
