Nuclear plants appear to be a perfect component to produce green hydrogen,
while ensuring the nuclear plants power output to be stable and therefore
maximizing efficiency. Excess electricity and steam produced by the nuclear
reactor could be used to produce hydrogen in times when a reactor would have
to be tuned down due to less demand from the grid.
The European Union imports 55% of its energy ($350 billion) and has a goal to
cut its GHG emissions to 40% below 1990 levels. Therefore, nuclear power will
remain an important part of Europe's Green Energy output and could transform
into a major piece in the hydrogen strategy. AES-100 Inc. will continue to
investigate opportunities and markets for hydrogen.
