A method and equipment for producing hydrogen from biomass includes the stages of drying of the biomass, gasification of the biomass, and water gas shift reaction. The method further includes: subjecting the outgoing gases (CO2, N2 and H2O) from the gasification stage to a first heat exchange, wherein the outgoing gases are cooled; evaporating water with heat from outgoing gases; subjecting the steam to heat exchange wherein the steam is heated; reducing the steam to synthesis gas, wherein the synthesis gas is cooled and the air supply to the gasification is heated; separating the synthesis gas into a hydrogen stream and a carbon monoxide stream; reacting the carbon monoxide with water steam to carbon monoxide and hydrogen; separating also these secondary streams into a hydrogen stream and a carbon monoxide stream; and bringing together the primary and secondary hydrogen stream into a product stream. |

1. A method for production of hydrogen from biomass, wherein said method comprises the stages of drying of the biomass and gasification of the biomass, the gasification including pyrolysis of the biomass, wherein coked fuel is formed by pyrolysis of the biomass, characterised by the further stages of subjecting outgoing gases from the gasification stage to a first heat exchange, the outgoing gases including carbon dioxide, nitrogen and steam, wherein the outgoing gases are cooled, water is evaporated in an evaporation stage by means of the caloric content of the outgoing gases, steam is subjected to heat exchange wherein steam is heated, steam is reduced to a synthesis gas consisting of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, this reduction occurs by reaction with the coked fuel, and the synthesis gas is subjected to gas separation to obtain pure hydrogen. |
