The conventional hydrogen production routes including the reforming of natural gas inevitably produce large amounts of greenhouse gases. They are among the problematic processes that often entail severe environmental impacts. Therefore, it is imperative to switch to sustainable hydrogen production technologies that can reduce reliance on fossil fuel resources, minimize greenhouse gases and reduce environmental impact. The current symposium focuses on production of hydrogen through various innovative technologies such as: thermochemical and thermocatalytic conversion of diverse renewable sources, electrocatalytic and photocatalytic routes that use water and ammonia, etc. Design and optimization of systems, electrodes, catalysts, as well as kinetic, thermodynamic, and computational studies are among some of the specific topics that this symposium covers.
