According to the present invention, organic material is converted to biogas through anaerobic digestion and the biogas is purified to yield a combustible fluid feedstock comprising methane. A fuel production facility utilizes or arranges to utilize combustible fluid feedstock to generate renewable hydrogen that is used to hydrogenate crude oil derived hydrocarbons in a process to make transportation or heating fuel. The renewable hydrogen is combined with crude oil derived hydrocarbons that have been desulfurized under conditions to hydrogenate the liquid hydrocarbon with the renewable hydrogen or alternatively, the renewable hydrogen can be added to a reactor operated so as to simultaneously desulfurize and hydrogenate the hydrocarbons. The present invention enables a party to receive a renewable fuel credit for the transportation or heating fuel.

A reforming device (10) according to the present invention has a compressor (11), a first heat exchanger (12), a desulfurization device (13), a reformer (14), a raw material gas branching line (L11) that extracts a compressed natural gas (21) from a downstream side of the desulfurization device (13) with respect to the flow direction of the natural gas (21) and supplies the natural gas (21) to the reformer (14), and a flue gas discharging line (L12) that discharges a flue gas (22) generated in the reformer (14), wherein the first heat exchanger (12) is provided in the flue gas discharging line (L12), and the flue gas (22) is used as a heating medium of the compressed natural gas (21).

A method of producing hydrogen using biomass includes: pretreating the biomass using an ionic liquid; and extracting hydrogen by reacting the pretreated biomass with an alkaline substance.

A combustion control apparatus of an Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) reforming system and a method for controlling the same may include a burner provided to supply heat to a reformer, a flame temperature analyzer configured to analyze a flame temperature of the burner, an air flow rate calculator configured to determine an initial value of a flow rate of air to be supplied to the burner depending on a flow rate of fuel gas supplied to the burner, and an air flow rate controller electrically connected to the air flow rate calculator and the flame temperature analyzer and configured to select the flow rate of the air at which the flame temperature transmitted by the flame temperature analyzer reaches a maximum while changing the flow rate of the air from the initial value and to control supply of the selected flow rate of the air to the burner.

A method of producing hydrogen gas is provided. The method can include the steps of providing a reaction vessel containing aluminum, delivering a stream of natural gas to the reaction vessel, in which the natural gas includes methane, and heating the reaction vessel at a temperature in a range of 300 to 800? C., in which the heating causes a chemical reaction between the methane and the aluminum to provide hydrogen gas and aluminum carbide. The method can include the addition of iron ore to the reaction vessel, which causes a reaction between the aluminum, methane, and iron oxide in the iron ore. The method can include delivering steam to the reaction vessel and heating the reaction vessel at a temperature in a range of 300 to 800? C., in which the heating causes a reaction between the methane, steam, and the aluminum to provide hydrogen gas, aluminum carbide, and aluminum oxycarbide.
