Nuclear Production of Hydrogen
Third Information Exchange Meeting, Oarai, Japan, 5-7 October 2005
Hydrogen has the potential to play an important role as a sustainable and environmentally acceptable energy carrier in the 21st century. Since natural sources of pure hydrogen are extremely limited, it is necessary to develop technologies to produce large quantities of hydrogen economically. The currently dominant technology for producing hydrogen is based on reforming fossil fuels, a process which releases greenhouse gases. Hydrogen produced by water cracking, using heat and surplus electricity from nuclear power plants, requires no fossil fuels and results in lower greenhouse gas emissions. This conference proceedings presents the state of the art in the nuclear production of hydrogen and describes its associated scientific and technical challenges.

Generation of H2 by Decomposition of Pulp in Supercritical Water with Ruthenium (IV) Oxide Catalyst
Nuclear Energy Agency
The production of hydrogen from pulp, a kind of biomass, in supercritical water in the presence of ruthenium (IV) dioxide RuO2 as a catalyst was studied. All experiments were carried out under argon atmosphere to avoid the effect of oxide during reaction.
