Environmentally benign nuclear-based hydrogen production

Abstract

Energy is a mainstay of an industrial society. It is, therefore, not surprising that many important organizations have attempted to analyze the future need for energy and the availability of various energy sources. Energy consumption growth is closely linked to population growth, although changes in life styles and efficiency improvement have a substantial influence on the per capita annual consumption. The structure of population and the share between urban and rural populations also affect energy demand (Torjman and Shaaban, 1998).
