N2 - Glycerol is a by-product during biodiesel production via transesterification of triglycerides. The conversion of glycerol to synthesis gas and then to methanol represents an important niche for glycerol processing that could relieve small biodiesel producers from high glycerol disposal cost while reducing their dependence on methanol from fossil fuels. The optimum operating conditions to produce desired conversion of glycerol, yields of H 2, and H 2/CO ratio with minimal coke formation were determined. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2012 AIChE Spring National Meeting and 8th Global Congress on Process Safety (Houston, TX 4/1-5/2012).
