Description

Any discussion of energy-related issues, such as air pollution, global climate change, and energy supply security, energy efficiency, raises the issue of future use of alternative fuels. Hydrogen offers large potential benefits in term of reduced emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases and improved efficiency in use from abundantly available feedstock. Nuclear energy is well placed to be a major contributor to large-scale hydrogen production.

The International Journal of Nuclear Hydrogen Production and Applications (IJNHPA) provides a venue for communication among researchers and policy analysts on the latest experimental and analytical results, economic and policy assessments, and technology innovations related to nuclear energy’s role in an expanding hydrogen economy. Although nuclear technology will play its most significant role in hydrogen production, knowledge of hydrogen transportation, storage, and end use is necessary to understand the context in which nuclear energy will contribute to different hydrogen markets. Therefore, the journal takes a broad approach in helping readers learn the latest thinking in the science, economics, and environmental impacts of nuclear-generated hydrogen.

Objectives

The objectives of the journal are to establish an effective channel of communication between professionals, policy makers, government agencies, academia, and research institutions concerned with nuclear production of hydrogen and its applications. It also aims to provide authoritative, reliable information on hydrogen technologies, economics, strategies, and resources to industry and governments for use in policy analysis and decision making, including the contribution of nuclear hydrogen to sustainable development.

The International Journal of Nuclear Hydrogen Production and Applications:

• Promotes the exchange of hydrogen production science and technology information;
• Promotes the intelligent application of hydrogen;
• Promotes international research and development cooperation;
• Supports nuclear power as a long-term option for hydrogen production in a competitive hydrogen economy;
• Helps in identifying technologies and resources available to address issues related to nuclear-generated hydrogen;
• Assesses the conditions and constraints related to nuclear power’s contribution to a growing hydrogen economy, including those tied to environmental objectives;
• Maintains information on the economic aspects of potential hydrogen markets;
