Alkali and alkaline earth species in biomass have self-catalytic activity on the steam gasification to produce hydrogen-rich gas. In this study, three types of biomass, i.e., brown seaweed, Japanese cedar, apple branch containing different concentrations of alkali and alkaline earth species, and the...
