N2 - The generation of ultra-pure H2 from biomass-derived synthesis gas and its integration with fuel cell systems has the potential for a high-energy efficiency, ultra-clean environmental performance, and near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. The water gas shift (WGS) system was used to reduce CO in the synthesis gas to an acceptable level for powering a PEM fuel cell. The WGS system initially consisted of two-stage commercial catalysts i.e., a high temperature shift catalyst, Fe3O4/Cr2O3, and a low temperature shift catalyst, Cu/Zn/Al2O3, to establish baseline data. Runs are underway to develop a more efficient catalyst for WGS by evaluating the effect of support on the efficiency of CO removal. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2011 AIChE Spring Meeting & 7th Global Congress on Process Safety (Chicago, IL 3/13-17/2011).
