The conventional generation of a substantial quantity of hydrogen from resources based on fossil fuels continues to play an essential role in the hydrogen economy. Hydrogen Production from Nonrenewable Resources offers a comprehensive overview and features 3 sections covering properties and characteristics of hydrogen, technologies for converting nonrenewable sources to hydrogen, and challenges in synthesis and production.

• Details thermophysical characteristics and properties of hydrogen.

• Covers conventional and novel industrial technologies for efficient production.

• Explores environmental opportunities and challenges and health and safety regulations.

• Provides techno-economic and lifecycle assessments with future outlooks.

Part of the multi-volume Handbook of Hydrogen Production and Applications, this standalone book guides researchers and academics in chemical, environmental, energy, and related areas of engineering interested in development and implementation of hydrogen production technologies.
