Methods and systems for hydrogen production from inert sodium salts are described herein. In an example method, steam is generated by a nuclear reactor power plant system. The steam is applied to sodium formate to facilitate one or more thermal and/or hydrothermal decomposition processes, thereby generating hydrogen. In the example method, sodium formate is generated by combining sodium hydroxide generated by an electrolysis process with sodium carbonate and/or sodium bicarbonate generated by a carbon capture process. Embodiments can be used to supply hydrogen storage facilities and/or for energy production.
