Hydrogen Production from Renewable Resources and Wastes

This book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the processes and technologies utilized for producing hydrogen from renewable sources. It discusses common methods like gasification, pyrolysis, and liquefaction, along with novel methods like water thermochemical splitting, biophotolysis, biological water-gas shift reaction, and fermentation processing. The application of various renewable sources, including wind, solar, and geothermal energy, is covered in detail.

• Introduces water splitting conversion processes for hydrogen production in detail
• Uniquely provides different pyrolysis, gasification, and liquefaction processes for hydrogen generation
• Covers different biomass and waste sources for producing hydrogen
• Discusses biochemical methods for converting biomass to hydrogen
• Provides the application of renewable energy sources in hydrogen production

Part of the multivolume Handbook of Hydrogen Production and Applications, this standalone book guides researchers and academics in chemical, environmental, energy, and related areas of engineering interested in the development and implementation of hydrogen production technologies.
