•Hybrid biomass-methane steam processing was studied in the range 1600–1800K.•Syngas yields, CGE, and carbon conversion were determined for three bio-feedstocks.•Production of CO was shown to be kinetically limited relative to H2 production.•Gasifier efficiency and yields favored allothermal over au...
