It outlines how large-scale and small modular reactors (SMRs) can produce both the power and the heat necessary to produce emissions-free hydrogen. It estimates that 12-13 GW of nuclear reactors of all types could use electrolysis, steam electrolysis using waste heat and thermochemical water splitting to produce 75 TWh of green hydrogen by 2050. The most common method, steam methane reformation, is low cost, but emits 10 kilograms of carbon dioxide for every one kilogram of hydrogen.
