Retrieving nuclear power plants by producing hydrogen
Journal Title: Future Energy - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
In February 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) established a $6 billion program to support America’s clean nuclear energy infrastructure. Before that, in the fourth quarter of 2021, the DOE dedicated $20 million in funding to the technologies that produce clean hydrogen from nuclear power. This approach reinforces producing hydrogen from zero-carbon electricity and represents a crucial economic product for nuclear power plants beyond electricity. The DOE plans to decrease the cost of hydrogen to $1 per 1 kilogram in one decade and open up new markets for the nuclear industry.
