This report describes progress made in 1981 in the Chemical/Hydrogen Energy Systems Program for which Brookhaven National Laboratory provides management support and technical oversight for the Department of Energy (DOE). The technical and management responsibilities are discharged on behalf of the Office of Energy Systems Research, Division of Physical and Chemical Energy Storage, acting in accordance with DOE policy and budgetary guidance. The program addresses research and development activities conducted by selected private sector contractors and supported by BNL as well as other National Laboratory and university researchers. Efforts are summarized for projects in: (1) Electrolytic Hydrogen Production, primarily directed toward SPE and advanced alkaline water electrolysis; (2) Hydrogen Storage Systems, Materials and End-Use Technology, which includes hydrogen embrittlement studies; (3) Chemical Energy Storage/Recovery Systems, which address hydrogen recovery from H/sub 2/S and waste gas streams; (4) Chemical Heat Pumps, covering the use of reversible chemical reactions for industrial heat upgrade and space conditioning; and (5) Thermochemical Production of Hydrogen. The progress in each of these areas is discussed and compared with competing alternatives. The plan and proposed funding for future activities are also presented.
