The US is bullish on the outlook for nuclear hydrogen
New initiative pushes case for nuclear hydrogen
Governments should aim for large-scale commercial hydrogen production powered by existing reactors within next three years, Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative says
A new coalition of more than 40 organisations including German technology company Siemens and US power generator Constellation Energy has called on governments to specify the use of nuclear-powered electrolysis in their clean hydrogen strategies. The coalition, called the Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative (NHI), urges policymakers to set explicit goals and metrics for nuclear hydrogen and to build reactors into the design of hydrogen hubs. Hydrogen policies should avoid colour labels such as green and blue, and instead include technologies based on carbon footprint, says the NHI, the members of which also include French utility Engie, US technology firm Cummins and electrolyser manufacturer Nel, a
