Abstract

Hydrogen and syngas can be produced from municipal solid waste to meet part of our energy demand. In this work, the performance of a novel, energy-efficient, solid oxide membrane (SOM) electrolyzer for the production of high purity hydrogen from steam and hydrocarbon waste such as plastics is analyzed. Energy analysis of the proposed electrolyzer shows that hydrogen can be generated at an efficiency of nearly 75%. Based on this study, design and electrode materials for commercially viable SOM electrolyzer is proposed.
