Reistad, paper presented at the Proceedings of the 2nd UN Symposium on the Development and Use of Geothermal Resources, Vol. 1, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, San Erancisco, 1975, pp. 2155—2164 "Analysis of the Economic Potential of Solar Thermal Energy to Provide Industrial Process Heat," U.S. ERDN Contract, EY-No-C-02-2829, Intertechnology Corp., 1977. 

The first solar-electric technology to arouse industry interest was solar-thermal energy (1,3,5,6,8). Under favorable circumstances, it can be cost-effective, as evidenced by the fact that solar-thermal gas-hybrid plants produce over 350 MW of commercial power in southern California. This power is used during peak demand to supplement that available from conventional generation.

Different strategies have evolved for thermochemical hydrogen production to effectively utilize the potentials of, in particular, nuclear and solar thermal energy sources. These strategies, which we discuss below, can be categorized depending upon the number of process steps involved and whether electrolysis is employed in a reaction.
