Glycerol, a byproduct derived from the production of biodiesel, is currently in an oversupply crisis worldwide. One approach to alleviate this problem is to transform glycerol into valuable chemicals such as hydrogen and syngas. Pyrolysis, steam reforming, partial oxidation, autothermal reforming, a...
