National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL)

NNL research project developing and analyzing techno-economic models for coupling nuclear reactors with hydrogen production technologies including high temperature steam electrolysis and thermochemical cycles.

An advanced nuclear reactor design capable of producing high-temperature heat suitable for coupling with hydrogen production technologies.

Producing hydrogen using nuclear power as the energy source for electrolysis or steam conversion of methane.

Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity sources, considered a critical component for hydrogen's long-term credibility as a clean fuel.

United Kingdom

UK initiative to demonstrate advanced high temperature gas reactor technology suitable for coupling with hydrogen production systems.

A think tank launched by the UK HFCA to examine possibilities for zero-carbon nuclear hydrogen production through electrical and thermal strategies, with focus on applications in buildings, transport, industry, and gas network conversion.

A 2021 collaboration between NNL and DNV to explore pink hydrogen's potential in supporting UK gas networks' conversion to hydrogen, establishing evidence for government policy decisions on hydrogen's role in buildings and heating.
