Hydrogen Production from Natural Gas in Laser Plasma: Chemistry, International Energy Policy, and Economic Model

Russian Journal of General Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

To solve such global problems as climate stabilization and reducing greenhouse gas luminescences requires an integrated approach, including a strategic analysis of the problem and the development of criteria for selecting proposed solutions, a natural scientific research on the possibilities and ways to implement the assigned tasks, as well as an economic justification for the feasibility of implementing the developed measures. The present publication is an attempt to apply this approach to the problem of hydrogen energy via proposing the production of hydrogen by pyrolysis of natural gas in laser plasma as one of the ways to its solution. Therewith, the main attention is focused on the chemical processes that occur in laser plasma, as well as on the nature of the transformations that occur in the solid pyrolysis product.
