14009 Developments in Thermochemical and Electrolytic Routes to Hydrogen Production: Part III
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 electrolytic and thermochemical-electrolytic hybrid hydrogen production processes.
