Nuclear seen as key part of mix for clean hydrogen

Nuclear power must be developed to expand the production of zero-carbon hydrogen due to competitive pricing, relatively small geographic footprint, and high capacity, say analysts and industry heads.

The production of clean synthetic fuels is key if we want to decarbonize the economy to achieve the urgent clean energy transition. This article highlights how hydrogen produced from clean energy sources needs to step up, nuclear energy could be a big player in its production and offers some key advantages over other clean forms of energy sources, such as land use and costs.

Terra Praxis has done some extensive work on clean synthetic fuel production with advanced heat sources, such as fission reactors. This article brings up some of our findings, such as the small footprint that nuclear leaves compared to other clean energy sources.

“There is this idea that solar is cheap, but when you look at the energy that's produced, and then land requirements and the scale of the installation that would be needed to match the footprint and compare to the production of a nuclear plant, you very quickly realize that it starts to get pretty expensive,”

Said Kirsty Gogan, Terra Praxis Founder and Co-CEO
