The production of hydrogen from biomass can be divided into two processes:

-          steam reforming of biomass – pyrolysis

-          biotechnological processes – fermentation

Another possible method is the use of biomass derivatives, such as bioethanol and biogas, but here it is better to use these derivatives directly as fuel.

The substrates processed by this method range widely from solid municipal waste, waste from the food industry, oil, to purposefully grown or waste agricultural biomass.
