Abstract

This study uses biomass to produce hydrogen from biomass via pyrolysis to meet renewable energy demand and reduce environmental effect. Pyrolysis revealed substantial variations in cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin content in biomass samples. Pyrolysis was tested with different biomass compositions, with Catalyst D converting hydrogen at 80%. Biomass 4 produced the most hydrogen at 120 g/L. Catalyst D was the most sustainable, with 1.8 kWh/kg energy usage, 0.05 kg/kg trash, and 0.15 kg/kg CO2 emissions, according to an environmental impact evaluation. The percentage change study highlighted Catalyst D’s significant pyrolysis performance and environmental sustainability gains. These results show that green biomass may increase biomass-to-hydrogen production efficiency and sustainability, advancing clean energy technology and a more sustainable energy future.
