Syngas production by CO2 reforming of ethanol over Ni/Al2O3 catalyst

CO2 is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, while ethanol is a bio-fuel that derived from biomass. Therefore, CO2 reforming of ethanol can be a green route for syngas production. The experimental results show that CO2 reforming of ethanol is feasible and can efficiently and selectively produce syngas with CO/H2 ratio of 1 under optimized reaction conditions.
