Thermochemical Cycles for Hydrogen Production

Article Preview

Abstract:

Increasing energy consumption, high cost and exhaustible nature of fossil fuels and their impacts on environment have increased interest in production of hydrogen from thermochemical cycles by harvesting energy from renewable energy sources in the present scenario. By using thermochemical cycles the large quantity of hydrogen production is possible. The main thermochemical cycles out of all reference cycles are Cu-Cl, Zn-ZnO, S-I, Ca-Br and Fe-Cl.
