Two methods were used in this study for the production of hydrogen-containing gas. The first method comprised the gasification of furnace-preheated coal particles in a laboratory-scale reactor. The effect of reactor temperature, the amount of water vapour used, and of particle size on the level of gas production were investigated. In the second method, coal particles were preheated by solar energy in the reactor prior to gasification. A stainless steel reactor, which is put in the focus of parabolic reflector, was used in this system. The results for coal were compared with results for graphite and wild reed for different reactor temperatures and the produced gases were chemically analysed.
