Abstract

Hydrogen is mainly produced by steam reforming of fossil fuels. Thus, research has been continuously conducted to produce hydrogen by replacing fossil fuels. Among various alternative resources, waste is attracting attention as it can produce hydrogen while reducing the amount of landfill and incineration. In order to produce hydrogen from waste, the water–gas shift reaction is one of the essential processes. However, syngas obtained by gasifying waste has a higher CO concentration than syngas produced by steam reforming of fossil fuels, and therefore, it is essential to develop a suitable catalyst. Research on developing a catalyst for producing hydrogen from waste has been conducted for the past decade. This study introduces various catalysts developed and provides basic knowledge necessary for the rational design of catalysts for producing hydrogen from waste-derived syngas.
