This lecture covers the process of converting solar energy into fuel through various methods such as solar cracking, steam reforming, gasification, and thermolysis. It explains the main principles behind each method, the reactions involved, and the efficiency of hydrogen production. The lecture also discusses the use of solar heat to drive reactions, the importance of Gibbs free energy variation, and the potential of photo-chemistry in powering chemical reactions.
