The National Science Foundation awarded a $199,998 Project Grant to Georgia Southern University Research & Service Foundation Inc. under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The 24-month award will support research to develop methods for producing carbon-neutral or carbon-negative, hydrogen-enriched syngas through co-gasification of biochar and waste mixed plastics. Specifically, the recipient will modify a fixed-bed reactor to generate data on syngas production using catalytic steam co-gasification. Researchers will identify optimal catalyst-to-feedstock and steam-to-feedstock ratios to improve hydrogen content in syngas and determine the effects of temperature and feed composition. Numerical models will also be developed to predict and optimize syngas composition from co-gasifying biochar and mixed plastics. Outcomes have potential applications in carbon-neutral polygeneration processes like power generation and commercial products including jet fuels and plastics. The award reflects NSF's mission to support engineering research and education that can foster innovation and strengthen the national economy.
