How Does Catalysis Contribute to Biomass Conversion?
Biomass can be converted to electrical energy through processes like gasification and pyrolysis. Catalysts improve the efficiency and selectivity of these processes, enabling the production of syngas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) which can be used in [combined heat and power systems](). The development of robust and selective catalysts is crucial for the economic viability of biomass-based electricity generation.
