Thermochemical reactions using geothermal energy

1. A reaction system for producing hydrogen by thermochemical splitting of water, the reaction system comprising:

a wellbore extending from a surface into a subterranean heat source comprising a magma reservoir;

a reaction chamber housed within the wellbore and configured to be maintained at a reaction temperature using heat obtained from the magma reservoir;

one or more inlet conduits configured to provide one or more feed streams to the reaction chamber, wherein at least one of the one or more feed streams comprise water; and

one or more outlet conduits configured to allow flow of a first product stream comprising hydrogen and a second product stream comprising oxygen.

2. The reaction system of claim 1 , wherein the reaction chamber is a cased volume within the wellbore.

3. The reaction system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more high pressure boilers pressurizing the reaction chamber.

4. The reaction system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more heat exchangers providing the heat to the reaction chamber.

5. The reaction system of claim 1 , further comprising a return conduit to recycle unreacted water back to the reaction chamber.

6. The reaction system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more valves in one or more the inlet conduits to control the flow of the one or more of the feed streams.

7. The reaction system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more non-volatile metal oxide catalysts disposed in the reaction chamber, wherein the one or more non-volatile metal oxide catalysts are configured to convert at least a portion of the water from the at least one of the one or more feed streams into hydrogen and oxygen in response to maintaining the water within the reaction chamber for a residence time.

8. The reaction system of claim 1 , wherein the reaction chamber is proximate to the surface and is heated by the heat transferred to the wellbore from the subterranean heat source.

9. The reaction system of claim 8 , wherein the heat from the wellbore is provided to the reaction chamber by a heat transfer fluid from one or more heat exchangers in the wellbore.

10. The reaction system of claim 1 , wherein the reaction chamber is located at a depth within the wellbore determined to provide a predetermined reaction temperature to the reaction chamber.

11. The reaction system of claim 1 , wherein the reaction chamber extends at least partially into the magma reservoir.

12. The reaction system of claim 3 , wherein the high pressure boiler pressurized reaction chamber comprises a temperature less than 500° C. using the heat from the magma reservoir.

13. The reaction system of claim 1 , wherein the reaction chamber comprises a volatile metal oxide catalyst.

14. The reaction system of claim 13 , wherein the volatile metal oxide catalyst comprises zinc oxide or cadmium oxide.

15. The reaction system of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of reactant feed streams coupled to the reaction chamber.

16. The reaction system of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of feed streams comprises an iodine feed stream and a sulfur dioxide feed stream.

17. The reaction system of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of feed streams comprises a copper feed stream and a hydrochloric acid feed stream.

18. The reaction system of claim 1 , further comprising a second reaction chamber located externally to the wellbore.

19. The reaction system of claim 1 , further comprising a separator vessel separating at least one of the first product stream or the second product stream into one or more end products.

20. The reaction system of claim 19 , further comprising an absorption chiller generating a cooling fluid using heat from the heat source to cool the separator vessel to form the one or more end products.
