Abstract
Bioethanol is a renewable energy source carrier mainly produced from the biomass fermentation process. Reforming of bioethanol for hydrogen production is the most promising method from the renewable energy source. Production of hydrogen from ethanol reforming process is not only environmentally friendly, but also it produces greater opportunities for use of renewable energy source, which are available and affect the catalytic activity of the process. This paper reviewed the various reforming processes and associated noble and non-noble catalysts and supporting layers for the reforming process. Among that, electrochemical reforming of bioethanol is found to be cost-effective, and hydrogen production is also found to be of high purity. Hydrogen production from ethanol through various reforming processes is still in the research for better hydrogen production. Hydrogen production through the process of reforming can be widely used for fuel cell operations.
