Hydrogen is a clean fuel. It is an energy carrier that can be used for a broad range of applications. Also it could serve as a possible substitute to liquid and fossil fuels. Its physical properties could be stated as following. At standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen is a nontoxic, nonmetallic, odorless, tasteless, colorless, and highly combustible diatomic gas with the molecular formula h2.
Nuclear power already produces electricity as a major energy carrier with well-known applications. Operating at very high capacity factors, nuclear energy is well placed to produce zero-carbon hydrogen as an emerging energy carrier with a wide range of applications. The evolution of nuclear energy's role in hydrogen production over perhaps two decades is seen to be:
Hydrogen Patents for a Clean Energy Future
doosan enerbility is preparing for the hydrogen production business using nuclear energy,
as reflected in the mou it signed with korea hydro & nuclear power in may 2021 on strengthening cooperation for
clean hydrogen production and convergence of energy technology.
The nuclear energy-based hydrogen production method,
which uses the combination of steam and electricity generated from nuclear power plants and water electrolyzers,
is likely to play a pivotal role in the future as it offers the economic advantages of blue hydrogen and green
hydrogen’s advantage of being co2-free, while also being a good supplement to the intermittent renewable energy.

Bmw is convinced that hydrogen can make an increasingly important contribution to sustainable mobility, complementing battery-powered vehicles – provided the appropriate hydrogen infrastructure with a favorable hydrogen price is available and the vehicle price falls. When this happens, fcevs can be the zero-emission technology that allows users to maintain their flexible driving habits. It’s important to note: bmw sees fcevs as a complement to battery-powered e-cars, not a competitor. And: an fcev will be a suitable solution for drivers who travel a lot and need high flexibility. Bmw is also looking into utilizing hydrogen technology in production and logistics.
