Abstract
In this paper are studied two processes that use biogas to obtain biohydrogen. Initially is analyzed the water electrolysis process with the use of electric energy generated in conjunction with internal combustion engine / generator (ICE) operating with landfill biogas. Subsequently is studied the steam reforming of biogas for the production of biohydrogen, which also uses this biofuel for the generation of superheated steam necessary for the reform process. The objective is to perform the energy analysis in order to determine the efficiency of the processe and the biohydrogen production potential in the sanitary landfills of the city of São Paulo. As a conclusion, one has to consider the availability of biogas in the city of São Paulo, there is a great potential for the production of biohydrogen, and that the steam reforming process of biogas presents a higher level of efficiency from a thermodynamic point of view.
