Advances in Electrolytic and Thermochemical Processes

Tuesday, November 18, 2008: 3:15 PM
Howe Room (Loews Philadelphia Hotel)

Description:
This session focuses on recent developments that advance hydrogen production by novel water splitting processes that reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The primary area for this session will be high-temperature steam electrolysis using an advanced nuclear reactor as the heat and power source. However, contributions on other methods including solar are encouraged.
