Abstract: An essential fact to keep up the economic power of high industrialized countries is the providing of low-cost energy for heating purposes in the private and industrial areas. Because of the limited resources of oil and natural gas, latest developments permit to transform nuclear energy into a gas ready for distribution on short and long distances. High-temperature reactors especially of the pebble-bed type, characterized by high out-let temperatures, are likely ,to use nuclear energy for application in numerous different fields, and not for conversion into electric energy only. The combination of nuclear power and fossil energy carriers, coal in general,is an economic way to produce low BTU gas and SNG. The gas can be distributed and used in already existing pipelines and burners. On the long sight one takes effort in making no longer use of fossil reserves; thermic water-splitting in multi-stage processes using high-temperature reactor heat is a good alternative to produce hydrogen as a highly clean final energy carrier, thus meeting the wishes of environmental protection. It is the aim of this study to evaluate the technical, economic, and ecologie aspects of the energetic application of hydrogen. Pipe-depending energy carriers are considered with regard to their distribution and application in the fields of energy for municipal, residential, and commercial uses. The potential of hydrogen for uses in the field of chemistry as well as iron and steel industry is estimated by an analysis of basic processes.
