Assessment of nonfossil hydrogen. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5419989
The study examined the potential for hydrogen produced from nonfossil energy sources as an energy carrier. Analyses were made of proposed hydrogen production technologies: water electrolysis, thermochemical systems, and various solar radiation processes. Long-term and short-term hydrogen storage technologies were also evaluated. Various possible hydrogen end-uses were appraised, including its role as an industrial chemical, a heating fuel for stationary applications, a vehicular fuel, and an aircraft fuel. The role of coal in future hydrogen production was seen as providing the major competitive technology to nonfossil hydrogen production. The study analyzed conditions (constraints placed on the use of natural fossil fuels and synthetic fossil fuels) under which hydrogen may be produced primarily from nonfossil energy sources. A possible scenario was suggested for the transition to a nonfossil energy era, and areas where hydrogen could be expected to contribute to domestic energy needs were indicated.
