Measures should include legislation, financial backing and more nuclear capacity, according to the report, titled The Role for Nuclear Enabled Hydrogen in Delivering Net Zero. Nuclear offers low-carbon baseload supply that is inexpensive, large-scale and easily located close to electrolysers as well as having good grid connectivity, according to the paper, which says nuclear has the potential to support 40GW of hydrogen generating capacity by 2050. “It is difficult for an electricity grid to match su
