Abstract

Process integration opportunities for the Cu–Cl cycle of hydrogen production with nuclear and renewable energy sources are investigated. The advantages and disadvantages of each system are studied, and the cost of hydrogen production is analyzed and compared for various cases. In order to evaluate the environmental performance of the integrated hydrogen production systems, an environmental impact assessment of the proposed systems with a focus on the amount of CO2 emission is conducted and compared.
