Hydrogen Production from Biomass using Nuclear Fusion Energy

Hydrogen deserves of a future energy medium in terms of global environmental issues and fossil resource constraints. This study intends to examine the feasibility of hydrogen production process by nuclear fusion heat. This process potentially provides hydrogen at significantly better efficiency than other proposed reaction such as electrolysis from renewable source with little CO₂ emission, and is formulated as (C₆H₁₀O₅)n+mH₂Orarr6nH ₂+6nCO-n814 kJ. The experimental result at 1273 K showed complete gasification of cellulose, and hydrogen was obtained at the conversion efficiency of respectively 40 percent of material and 50% of heat. A concept of a reactor and fusion-hydrogen plant is presented

Introduction

The expectation for hydrogen for fuel cell and a carbon-free fuel is growing as correspondence to a global warming problem and a fossil fuel resource problem. Hydrogen production process which does not generate carbon dioxide for actualizing hydrogen society.
