Hydrogen energy system; Proceedings of the Second World Hydrogen Energy Conference, Zurich, Switzerland, August 21-24, 1978. Volumes 1-5

Papers are presented on recent developments in hydrogen energy systems, including primary energy sources; electrolytic, thermochemical, and hybrid hydrogen production; hydrogen production from fossil fuels; transmission and distribution, and storage. Other topics include nuclear energy as a primary energy source for hydrogen production, the conversion of solar energy into hydrogen, improvements in alkaline electrolysis technology, the development of solid polymer electrolyte electrolysis systems, the atomic sulfur-iodine water splitting cycle, the electrolysis of hydrobromic acid, the ZnSe thermochemical hydrogen production cycle, and the industrial-scale production of hydrogen from natural gas, naphtha, and coal. Attention is also given to solar-thermochemical hydrogen production from water, plasma-chemical hydrogen production, photoelectrochemical hydrogen production, gas distribution equipment for hydrogen, cryogenic hydrogen storage, and the development of low-cost nickel-rare earth hydrides for hydrogen storage.
