Abstract

Besides traditional approaches for producing and storing hydrogen from cheap, surplus electricity or heat to use in energy conversion processes, this paper aims at simulating the feasibility of using water as energy carrier by two alternative approaches: hydrogen combustion from water splitting, and LENR-Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. The former can yield 106 J/kg-water magnitude energy intensity; the latter can yield 109 J/kg-water magnitude energy intensity.

Keywords: Hydrogen combustion; Hydrogen economy; LENR
