Fluidizable Ni/La2O3-γAl2O3 catalyst for steam gasification of a cellulosic biomass surrogate

- A new fluidizable Ni catalyst supported on La2 O3 modified γ-Al2O3.
- La2O3 promotes both γ-Al2O3 stability and nickel enhanced properties.
- Catalytic biomass gasification is developed in a fluidized bed CREC Riser Simulator.
- Catalyst displays improved reactivity and close to equilibrium gasification.
- Observed catalyst reactivity is in line with its enhanced structural properties.
