Synthetic natural gas from biomass by catalytic conversion in supercritical water

TLDR
In this article, the onset of the gasification reaction was visualized in sealed quartz capillaries as high pressure batch reactors, by using an optical microscope, and the onset temperature was found around 250 °C, which was much lower than conventional atmospheric gasification processes operating at 800-900 °C.

Thermochemical biofuel production in hydrothermal media: A review of sub- and supercritical water technologies

TL;DR: Several biomass hydrothermal conversion processes are in development or demonstration as mentioned in this paper, which are generally lower temperature (200-400 °C) reactions which produce liquid products, often called bio-oil or bio-crude.

Catalytic gasification of algae in supercritical water for biofuel production and carbon capture

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new process based on microalgae cultivation using dilute fossil CO2 emissions and the conversion of the algal biomass through a catalytic hydrothermal process.

Kinetic Evidence of the Maillard Reaction in Hydrothermal Biomass Processing: Glucose−Glycine Interactions in High-Temperature, High-Pressure Water

TL;DR: The presence of glucose always resulted in higher glycine destruction and the presence of glycine resulted in increased or decreased glucose destruction, depending on initial concentrations, which is consistent with results reported in the literature for lower temperature Maillard reactions.

Renewable Production of Methane from Woody Biomass by Catalytic Hydrothermal Gasification

TL;DR: In this article, the production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) from wood by a catalytic hydrothermal process was studied in a laboratory batch reactor suitable for high feed concentrations (10−30 wt %) at 300−410 °C and 12−34 MPa with Raney nickel as the catalyst.
