Hydrogen production by high temperature electrolysis with waste heat

Energy is one of the most important needs for fulfillment of humankind's main inputs, for social and economic development of the country [1]. Along with the constantly developing technology the most advanced technology is known that hydrogen energy system which is environmental friendly and sustainable can be met the increasing energy requirements [2]. The rapid progress of science, engineering and technology is quickly depleting natural energy reserves worldwide. Population growth has also spurred the demand for energy. The world is predicted to consume 66% more energy in 2030 [3] and twice as much in 2050 [4] than it is today [5]. The idea is to improve hydrogen production efficiency through a solid oxide electrolysis process with the help of waste heat. This research aims to create an effective and multi-disciplinary solution package within the circle drawn to produce hydrogen evaluating the waste heat.
