Dear list
I must write a brief explanation about biomass and coal gasification. I am confused when I must explain hydrogen production from gasification. I can understand quite well about biomass gasification, because biomass contains H in their chains. But I still have no idea when many authors wrote about producing Hydrogen from coal.

AFAIK coal is mainly carbon, but many wrote this reaction, concerning *oxygen gasification*

C + O2 --> CO2
C + 1/2 O2 --> CO
H + 1/2 O2 --> H2O

my question is where does the *hydrogen* in that reaction come from if it is not a steam gasification?
Or it should be a steam gasification ?

Thank you,
Tasliman
