Abstract
Results of the steam reforming of glucose in supercritical water at 34.5 MPa and temperatures between 450° and 650°C are presented. At 600°C and above glucose is completely gasified (no observable char or tar product) in less than one minute. The gas consists primarily of hydrogen and carbon dioxide, and a small amount of carbon monoxide and methane. Phase separation of the products exiting the reactor makes the gas available at very high pressure.
