A review was made of hydrogen production as a source of energy. Hydrogen from sea water has mainly been produced by electrolysis. The chlorine and oxygen evolved at the anode makes this process very difficult. A proposal for hydrogen production from sea water by an electrochemical method is under investigation. In this investigation, fresh water and hydrogen can be produced simultaneously. The electric cell consists of a set of electrodes. Each electrode is suspended between two plastic membranes (cations and anions). Hydrogen will be evolved from the cation compartment and chlorine gas from the anion compartment. Cost estimation and evaluation of the process was made. (Puschmann)
