Malaysia is currently the world’s largest producer and exporter of palm oil. Besides producing palm oil, at present there is an increasing interest concerning oil palm renewable energy, and one of major attentions is the production of hydrogen from biomass by catalytic routes. There are various thermo-chemical conversion technologies which can be applied for hydrogen production from biomass. Gasification technology provides a competitive way to convert solid biomass like oil palm waste to a uniform gas mixture namely hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and carbon dioxide. Catalysts are widely used for syngas cleaning and play an important role in enhancing the production of hydrogen by gasification process.
