Zero-Emitting Nuclear is Prime Vehicle for Producing Hydrogen
EA
Superior
Economics
Green hydrogen from
nuclear currently
beats hydrogen
production from
renewables on a
levelized cost basis
Low barriers to
implementation
Nuclear plants require
no siting or permitting
and offer a secure and
steady production
source
Scalable and
iterative
Electrolyzer capacity
can be modularly
ramped onto nuclear
assets from pilot
stage to at-scale
production allowing
iterative electrolyzer
installation cost-
downs and quick
production scale-up
with new offtakers
-
Advantageous
end-uses
Certain end-uses
benefit from high heat
industrial process
such as synfuels -
that create a
synergistic
relationship with
nuclear sites
Enhanced criticality
of nuclear assets
With increasing
renewables
intermittency,
electrolyzers can also
be used to add
flexibility to nuclear
assets to improve
value in a
decarbonizing world
