Introduction

The Special Issue “Green Thermochemical Processes for Hydrogen Production: Circular Economy Approach” welcomes research, review and mini-review papers focusing on the study and development of thermochemical processes for the valorization of byproducts, wastes, wastewaters and biomass to Hydrogen in a green and sustainable way. Processes driven by the supply from renewable energies, minimizing the use of brand new chemicals and catalyzers while using reclaimed ones or alternative recirculated byproducts/wastes that can have similar benefits for the process, minimizing the use of clean water while using reclaimed water, as well as minimizing the severity of the operating conditions thus optimizing the resources expenditure, will be much welcomed for publication in this issue. Thermochemical processes in this issue include, but are not limited to, the green version of the following: hydrothermal processes under sub- and supercritical conditions, pyrolysis, thermo-bio-chemical processes (such as dark fermentation), steam methane reforming, plasma gasification, thermochemical water splitting (such as the sulfur-iodine cycle). Of great interest will be those works including the conditioning and application of the produced Hydrogen for generating any type of exploitable energy. The inclusion of theoretical or modeling aspects is encouraged, but for research papers to be considered, they must incorporate an experimental component.
