Session: Advances in Thermochemical Hydrogen Production (2009 Annual Meeting)

Thursday, November 12, 2009: 12:30 PM

Pres. Boardroom A (Gaylord Opryland Hotel)

Description:

This session focuses on recent developments in advancing hydrogen production by novel water-splitting processes that reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The primary area for this session will be thermochemical cycles that use advanced nuclear or solar energy as the heat and power source. However, contributions on other novel water-splitting methods are also encouraged.
