UPCOMING WEBINAR - Key pathways for pink hydrogen production
Production of pink hydrogen, via nuclear energy, water, and low- and high-temperature electrolysis, is currently in demonstration phase in multiple government funded projects in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. These novel projects, via technical feasibility and economic viability, are showing vast and definitive potential for advanced commercialization – all with zero-carbon continuous duty/baseload electricity and zero-greenhouse gas emissions. There are a wide variety of end-use applications including, but not limited to, integration with hydrogen hubs, production of ammonia, chemicals, fuels, and feedstocks.
Nuclear technologies include existing large-scale light water reactors, small modular reactors (SMRs), and innovative high temperature gas reactors (HTGRs). Currently, technical design constraints with respect to SMRs are being addressed with respect to process heat required in chemicals and fuels production due to differences in temperature and pressure requirements. Advances in HTGRs can potentially expand nuclear applications to higher-temperature processes, supporting a broader range of industrial decarbonization needs.
Global stakeholders are focussed on making major progress in streamlining the overarching regulatory framework, policy, directives, and lengthy permitting process. In addition, the industry is addressing specific improvements in a secure and stable nuclear fuel supply/value chain, uranium availability, management of spent reactor fuel/radioactive waste, and long-term sustainability.
Going forward, industry must monitor and assess current U.S. Administration’s directives with respect to streamlining overarching federal regulatory framework and policy as well as existing legislation (e.g., Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear or Clean Energy (ADVANCE) Act and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)).
