14006 Developments in Thermochemical and Electrolytic Routes to Hydrogen Production: Part I
OverviewThis symposium focuses on nontraditional methods for generating hydrogen that would reduce reliance on fossil fuels, in particular those that use heat from a nuclear power plant to dissociate water into hydrogen and oxygen by thermochemical or electrolytic means. This session focuses on assessment of thermochemical hydrogen production methods and the most novel hydrogen production processes.
