Abstract :
Alternative methods of hydrogen production are of interest if they offer improvements in cost, efficiency, flexibility, and/or impact on the environment. The feasibility of commercializing fluidized bed membrane reactor (FBMR) methods of hydrogen production is assessed through techno-economic cost modeling (TCM). A sensitivity analysis is then presented to evaluate the impact of changes in market conditions of input materials, commodity pricing, and location will affect the cost of hydrogen using this form of production.
