TL;DR: In this article, the development, evolution and current status of CSP-aided syngas production via such redox-pair-based thermochemical cycles are presented, and the selection of suitable solar reactors is addressed in conjunction with the boundary conditions imposed by the redox systems as well as the heat demands, technical peculiarities and requirements of the cycle steps.

TL;DR: In this article, the development and current status of solar-aided reforming of gaseous methane-containing feedstocks, focussing in particular on the reactor technologies and concepts employed so far to couple the heat requirements of the methane reforming process to the underlying principles, intricacies and peculiarities of concentrated solar power (CSP) exploitation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the exploitation of solar energy for the dissociation of water and production of hydrogen via an integrated thermo-chemical reactor/receiver system using multi-channelled honeycomb ceramic supports coated with active redox reagent powders.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a critical discussion of prospects of solar thermal hydrogen production in terms of technological and economic potentials and their possible role for a future hydrogen supply, focusing on solar driven steam methane reforming, thermochemical cycles, high temperature water electrolysis and solar methane cracking.

TL;DR: In this article, a thermochemical solar receiver-reactor has been developed and installed in the solar furnace in Cologne, Germany, and it was proven that solar hydrogen production is feasible by this process demonstrating that multi cycling of the process was possible in principle.
