Abstract:
Currently worldwide hydrogen is produced mostly from steam methane reformation process – that contributes to carbon dioxide emission. Nuclear energy can be used to produce hydrogen either with electrolysis from electricity produced from nuclear energy or with thermochemical process using nuclear heat eliminating carbon cycle. The talk will present advances in nuclear hydrogen production, state of the technology, and commercial efforts around the globe. The legal regulatory and technology challenges are also addressed in this talk.
