Using nuclear plants to generate heat as well as electricity for non-grid industrial applications could be central to deep decarbonization efforts beyond being a source of zero-carbon electricity. Kirsty Gogan and other speakers at the fifth Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum last week looked at how hydrogen – and nuclear – can contribute to carbon abatement efforts in areas that have so far been hard to decarbonize.
